[Pkg-awstats-devel] Bug#613524: Processing of awstats.conf should not be hardcoded

[Stefan Froehlich]

Package: awstats
Version: 6.9.5~dfsg-5
Severity: normal


awstats comes together with a cron job. This job looks for all
configuration files within /etc/awstats/ (which is good) but includes
"awstats.conf" hardcoded (which is bad).

If there is no master configuration file (which seems to be quite
ok on a site with serveral vhosts, each with its on, specific config)
this produces an error mail every 10 minutes.

Solution: only consider awstats.conf, if does exist.
