This is using AWStats 6.3 on Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0
My log files will not be processed for 2010. The stats are all fine up to 31/12/2009.
The last file in my DirData folder is 'awstats122009.[config].txt' – there is no 'awstats012010.[config].txt' or later.
If I change my LogFile entry in the conf file to LogFile="C:/Inetpub/vhosts/[domain]/statistics/logs/W3SVC[nnnnn]/ex100101.log" and run "perl awstats.pl -config=[domain] -update", the expected awstats012010.[config].txt is not generated and I get:
Attempts at subsequent log files result in the same problem; AWStats thinks these are all old records even though the file for that month does not exist. Any pointers to how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Solution:
Temporarily move all files contained in DirData to another directory and try again. This will allow you to generate the AWStats data files for January 2010. When this is done, move the 2009 data files back to DirData.
OR
backup and comment the "highlighted part" /var/lib/awstats/domain.txt

So you have a bunch of old logs and you want to put it all together into AWStats to put the historical data in. Firstly you have to remove any existing AWStats monthly data files from the data directory as AWStats won't enter log information from the past.
Then you need to use a script like the one below to feed the logfiles back into AWStats and have it regenerate the monthly data files:
for %i in (D:\sites\www.fridaynightgaming.com\logs\W3SVC2008\*.log) do perl awstats.pl -config=fridaynightgaming -logfile=%i -update
Obviously change out the example logfile path above for your own. This is the only way I know of how to import historical log data into AWstats.
