It only worked once you give the /var/log/apache2 directory itself 755, not just the files within it. Bubba is right.

“# chmod 755 -R /var/log/apache2/*”
with
“# chmod 755 /var/log/apache2/”
for security.

EXACTLY the same problem! i wonder if we are the only ones with that, i googled nothing similar out this evening. thanks again! cheers Juri aaaah,

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg558469.html

it’s really not my first awstats install,
but my first in lenny!
i got also one server running on etch, and
everything’s just fine on it.

as i finally found your thread, read it and
compared my apache2 log folder on lenny and
etch, i found that this folder has the right
permissions in the etch install: 755.
on lenny it’s 754, don’t to hell know why!

i thought i’ll do the install in half an
hour, and now i’m sitting all evening on it,
trying everything, almost desparing.

EXACTLY the same problem!
