Hello,

I have setup awstats on a FreeBSD box, and after sometime, the awstats page will display the following error:

Code: 
HTTP gateway timed out

Excerpt from apache error log:

Code:

I had this similar error months ago on a different box, and I managed to make it go away temporarily (to be honest I don't remember exactly what I did, I think I just played around with the awstats.pl cron timing or I setup a whole new config), but not long after that the same error came back. And recently I setup awstats on this new box, and the same error appears, so guess I'm missing something somewhere.

Appreciate any help to fix this issue. System runs on FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE #0.

Thanks.
 
Are you doing an "update=1" when you try to visit the awstats.pl page? If so, your system is probably just too slow to process all of the data in time. You may need to call awstats from the command line and visit it without "update=1" instead.
 
Nope, not doing "update=1". Just awstat.pl update -config=www.*****.com. Did try without the update just now, still the same :( .
