• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

DNSLookup in AWStats Conf

Ian Cunningham

New Pleskian
I've got AWstats running for all domains on my server, but there are so many hits that AWStats can't keep up with processing them all during the day.

It turns out that when the DNSLookup lookup option is enabled it can take MUCH MUCH longer to process.

I've tried disabling DNSLookup in the domain .conf files located in both the inetpub directory and %plesk_dir%Additional\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin\ directory. I've even updated the model.conf file. None of these work as it gets overwritten by the statistics.exe file each day.

According to the following KB article (http://kb.odin.com/en/1776), I can't change the DNSLookup option anyway. Can someone please tell me how I can work around this, as it seems strange that this variable is set in stone!? It means I can't run my stats package.

But there is a list of parameters that are required by Plesk and will be overwritten in any case:

LogType, LogFormat, SiteDomain, HostAliases, DNSLookup, DirData, DirCgi, DirIcons, SaveDatabaseFilesWithPermissionsForEveryone, DefaultFile, LogFile, HTMLEndSection
