upgrade v7.6 to v7.7 - Windows paths to plugins failed
Was running AWStats 7.6 on Windows Server 2012 R2 and had the various Maxmind plugins installed. Copied the v7.7 files over the top and site started throwing error:
Error: Plugin init for plugin 'geoip' failed with return code: Error opening C:Perl64LibGeoGeoIP.dat at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Geo/IP/PurePerl.pm line 243. (A module required by plugin might be missing).
Setup ('C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AWStats\cgi-bin/awstats.DefaultWebSite.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).
Checked perms on the various GeoIP .dat files - all good. Even forced the IUSR account on all of them again. No change. Updated ActiveState Perl from 5.16 to 5.24 and updated all packages in PPM - no change. Updated PurePerl.pm from v1.25 to v1.26 - no change.
What fixed it was, in my awstats.conf file I had to change all the backslashes to forward-slashes in the paths to the Maxmind plugins, e.g.
LoadPlugin="geoip GEOIP_STANDARD C:\Perl64\Lib\Geo\GeoIP.dat"
change to
LoadPlugin="geoip GEOIP_STANDARD C:/Perl64/Lib/Geo/GeoIP.dat"
Being a Windows machine, I should not be using forward slashes in paths.
Any idea what changed in Awstats from 7.6 to 7.7 that would've caused this problem?
