<h2>AWStats Config File Location</h2>

<p>The AWStats config file is located in the '/home/<em>yourusername</em>/tmp/awstats/' directory (or just 'tmp/awstats' from your home directory). It is called 'awstats.<em>yoursitename</em>.conf', where&nbsp;<em>yoursitename</em>&nbsp;is the name of your web site and&nbsp;<em>yourusername</em>&nbsp;is the name of the cPanel account you are under right now.</p>

<h2>It's Tricky!</h2>

<p><em>You have located the file, you download it to your computer, you edit it and you upload it to the server again and you believe that you are done.</em></p>

<p>This will probably not work because in most installations, cPanel reinitializes the AWStats configuration file every day, just before it runs the stats update.</p>

<h2>Change the File Permissions</h2>

<p>This first solution is obvious, but it does not always work. Connect to the site&nbsp;with FTP&nbsp;and try to change the permissions of 'awstats.<em>yoursitename</em>.conf' to read only (444). If this does not work, please try changing permissions using the Legacy File Manager.</p>
