Bug#644041: Couldn't open file "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats102011.model.tmp.5639" for write: Permission denied

[Rainer Dorsch]

Package: awstats
Version: 6.9.5~dfsg-5
Severity: important


After the upgrade to squeeze I get an error from this cron entry:

*/10 * * * * www-data [ -x /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh ] && /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh

Running it manually, I get

bokomoko:/etc/awstats# su - www-data /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh

I queried google for this message and found a few hits, but there was no conclusive solution for the problem.

Please let me know if you need further information.

When I run update.sh as root, it runs flawless.

Many thanks,
Rainer

Please, quote /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf and (if you can) your
old cron.d file.

I attached /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf, unfortunately I threw away the old
cron.d file (it was still lying around in /etc/cron.d/awstats.dpkg-old, and I
was not sure if it was the source of the problem).

Thanks,
Rainer

The source of your problem is in your local customization, e.g. line:
DirData="."
This should be
DirData="/var/lib/awstats/"

Please, use the standard awstats conf and override some
options only if you need them. And see README.Debian for
some hints in handling multiple stats (a number of apache vhosts).

dpkg-old and dpkg-dist are filename extensions that are created when
a package is upgraded and a conffile overwritten. <conffilename>.dpkg-old is
created when the user has chosen to use the newly installed one. 
<conffilename>.dpkg-dist is created when the user opted to
keep the old one; it is the version from the newer package.

If you restore /etc/cron.d/awstats.dpkg-old and leave /etc/awstats/*
stuff intact - your old config should be working.

Many thanks for pointing that out. I cannot tell why I introduced
awstats.model.conf in the first place (as I said, I upgraded, i.e. I configured
awstats long time ago). Right now I have only one apache host and I think I
can go without it (?).

Note, I most likely cloned awstats.model.conf from (the lenny version?) of
/usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/awstats.model.conf.gz

In there, there is still the DirData entry
DirData="."

Does it make sense to provide another default there?

I understand the dpkg-old, dpkg-dist extensions. I was not sure if crond would
pick /etc/cron.d/awstats.dpkg-old or if it is clever enough to skip this file.

Thanks again,
