  Stdout is
  forkExecvPipes: execv() failed: No such file or directory

• The path for the value AWSTATS_BIN_D has incorrect white spaces in the /etc/psa/psa.conf file:

  # grep AWSTATS_BIN_D /etc/psa/psa.conf
  AWSTATS_BIN_D /var/www/cgi-bin/awstats $

Cause

AWstats path is not correct because of white spaces on its route.

Resolution

1. Connect to the server via SSH

2. Edit the file /etc/psa/psa.conf and remove ending white space character from value AWSTATS_BIN_D, Vi editor can be used:

   # grep AWSTATS_BIN_D /etc/psa/psa.conf
   AWSTATS_BIN_D /var/www/cgi-bin/awstats$

3. Execute web statistics recalculation for example.com:

   # /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/web_statistic_executor --calculate-domain example.com
