getting awstats to read post.office log files

[Ken Whitcomb <ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found out the awstats was reading the default itools mail log file so I changed the line in

/Library/Tenon/WebLog/cgi-bin/awstats.mail.conf

from LogFile="/Library/Tenon/WebLog/cache/mail.log"

to LogFile="/var/spool/post.office/log/post.office.log"

Now, instead of a beautiful log page, I get this:

Warning: HostAliases parameter is not defined, awstats choose "Mail localhost 127.0.0.1".

AWStats did not found any valid log lines that match your LogFormat parameter, in the 50th first non commented lines read of your log.

Your log file /var/spool/post.office/log/post.office.log must have a bad format or LogFormat parameter setup does not match this format.

Your AWStats LogFormat parameter is: %time2 %email %email_r %host %host_r %method %url %code %bytesd

This means each line in your web server log file need to have the following personalized log format:

%time2 %email %email_r %host %host_r %method %url %code %bytesd

And this is a sample of records AWStats found in your log file (the record number 50 in your log):

20040113000550-0500:LoadHostFilterTable: loading name: spam desc: filter w/ spam assassin

Setup ('awstats.mail.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.

See AWStats documentation in 'docs' directory for informations on how to setup awstats.

The line that defines the log format in awstats.mail.conf reads:

LogFormat="%time2 %email %email_r %host %host_r %method %url %code %bytesd"

So I suppose this is the line that needs to change but I'm not sure to what...

anyone able to help? Is there something wrong with my installation? Does anyone else using Post.Office and awstats see a mail log page?

TIA,
