I encountered this bug when updating from 14.04 to 16.04. I started with Mike’s work-around, but had to change it a bit.
First of all the awstats user is created with a new dedicated group awstats, which I did not want. So I used: useradd -g www-data -G adm awstats I also had to allow awstats to create new files: chown -R awstats:www-data /var/lib/awstats -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1252467 Title: /etc/cron.d/awstats: wrong user for cron job To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/1252467/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
