Hi,
I have just had the time to test the package. Thanks for providing it. My
report will be rather long, sorry for it. But at the end the thing works now :D
If I remember correctly, amavis-stats prefixes itself to /usr while building.
And It seems that the package is built with --prefix=/usr.
In line 1120 of /usr/sbin/amavis-stats it looks for config file at
'/etc/amavis-stats/amavis-stats.conf'. Also, it installs
/usr/var/cache/amavis-stats and /usr/var/lib/amavis-stats directories.
There must be a configure option for the prefix.
Also it puts files in /usr/doc, no other package does this according to
debian policy. and /usr/doc/amavis-stats.txt is in fact a man file -with
horrible formatting :(
This program really sucks but there is no ready-made alternative.
The data directories (/var/{lib,cache}/amavis-stats) must be www-data owned.
And I cannot remember what original permissions were on /var/log/mail.info, but
amavis-stats must be able to read it.
The new version defaults in a daemon-like operation. So the cron.d file is
unnecessary, instead an initscript must be installed, that will directly call
/usr/sbin/amavis-stats with start|stop etc. Be aware that process renames
itself as `Amavis-Stats`
/usr/share/amavis-stats/amavis-stats.alias.conf is similar to the apache.conf,
with added expiration instructions, it should not be present in installed
package.
In my setup, /etc/amavis-stats/apache.conf was not linked under apache's conf.d
Also I had to fix /usr/share/amavis-stats/img link, as the current package has
an extra /usr/ prefix in all directories, in the corrected version, that link
should be pointing to correct place.
Some dependencies are missing; a dep on php and php-gd must be present for php
files. I am not very comfortable with this. People do not install web servers
on their mail servers. I would not prefer such a dep, instead I copy rrd files
over to a apache installed machine. Can you provide a backend package that
produces rrd files, and a frontend that produces graphics ?
After all these adjustments, I managed to get graphics of virus, spam and other
activity. Yay!
Actually, the business1 theme seems like professional thingy :)
Thanks for your efforts.

Hi,
I have a package of 0.1.22 ready to go but I am not overly familiar
with
using it. Is there any chance you could do some testing for me?
Thanks!

Gokdeniz,
Thanks. I have put the .deb here for now:
http://people.debian.org/~bdefreese/amavis-stats/amavis-stats_0.1.22-1_all.deb
Unfortunately it isn't apt-gettable so you will have to wget and use
dpkg -i. If you don't know how to do that, please let me know. I'm
sure there is some extraneous stuff in the package since the way it is
configured seems to have changed significantly. In fact the
apache.conf file that is shipped is probably no good anymore as well
as the cronjob probably needs modification. Any help/suggestions you
could give there would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Barry
Gokdeniz,
Hi, sorry to bug you, just curious if you've had a chance to test this
version out?
Thanks!
