I went through recently and brought them up to date.
See ticket #634 (Trouble with awstats on download server) – OSGeo for more details.
The files are indeed in /osgeo/download/logs but looks like you wouldn't
see that without sudo usage for some reason. Ah and the files are txt,
the perl script reads those to make the web pages on the fly ( I think).
http://download.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.download.osgeo.org
I think it would be nice to get that aliased as:
http://download.osgeo.org/stats
It should be possible by fixing the config file to match the hostname.
This already works if you map "www.download.osgeo.org" locally
(DNS doesn't resolve it).
I haven't found any reference to "www" in the configuration files found
under /etc/awstat but there is a -config=www.download.osgeo.org in the
cron job running every 4 hours, and it's possibly the configuration file
itself enforcing that name.
That said, it would be nice to get it to work w/out the need for explicily
setting a 'config' parameter in query string, so it'd be aliasable.
A possible way to get there could be:
(1) disable the cron job
(2) rename the configuration file to strip the 'www' part
(3) backup existing log dir
(4) rename all *www.download* logs to strip the 'www' part
(5) test http://download.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
(6) if everything went fine (you can see all logs from 2007 to 2011)
then write a new cron job to use the new configuration
