Awstats Forbidden

New postby archangel714 » 06 Aug 2008 18:35

I am still very new to .htaccess files so what I have is grabbed from online help sites. The problem that I am having is that when I turn the RewriteEngine on it makes it so that my awstats page is forbidden (403 error).

Here is the code

-------------------------------------------------------------
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L,NC]

ServerSignature EMail
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN mailto:myemail@hotmail.com

Options -Indexes
-------------------------------------------------------

I have tried tried commenting everything else out (including the rewrite rules and cond) but even with a file that only has a the RewriteEngine on the awstats is still forbidden

Awstats is located at /awstats/awstats.pl <- symlink

Thanks for any help!

Someone said that is might be my virtual host. I have gone through the file but have found nothing that would cause my awstats from loading. Here is the file

--------------------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin mailto:myemail@hotmail.com
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias *mysite.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/personal/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/personal/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/personal-error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/personal-access.log combined
ServerSignature On

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None

ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/var/www/personal/awstats/cgi-bin/"

#

#
<Directory "/var/www/personal/awstats">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

</VirtualHost>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Again the problem is that when I have the rewriteEngine on in the root directory the website address changes correctly but I can't seem to access the awstats page. As soon as I comment out the rewriteEngine, awstats works again... Argh!
