You probably used a set up (like rpm) that did an automatic configuration and already added the Alias lines into your httpd.conf. Then if you followed documentation and added the Aliases manually you would get these duplicate lines. Examine your conf file and see if you have duplicate lines (automatic configurations typically append the lines to the end of the file. Delete the duplicated entries and errors will go away. @sms

@ unixlearner Probably the only way is to have a virtual host for that port with separate log files, and run awstats on these log files

Error in the Crontab:

*/10 * * * * root /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=domain.tld -update >/dev/null

Should be:
*/10 * * * * /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=domain.tld -update >/dev/null

(REMOVED root from the crontab line)

Thanks though!
