There can be several reasons for this AWStats error, thus several attempts may be needed to fix it.

1. Check your AWStats config file (it typically has the name awstats.devpub.com.conf where devpub is the actual domain name for which you are gathering statistics). In it search for a line starting with "LogFile" and verify that it is pointing to a valid path where the log file exists. One example is LogFile="/usr/local/apache/domlogs/devpub.com".

2. Ensure that the log file type is set to combined mode in the Apache httpd.conf file and that the log file line is commented out; an example line is: CustomLog logs/devpub.com-access_log combined. Then Restart Apache and retry.

3. If you are using a 3rd party webhost, contact the webhost as they may have disallowed AWStats on their servers.
