Description of problem: Have a fairly conventionall 00webalizer cron.daily script to handle multiple webalizer runs specifying a different conf file via "-c" option for each run, where functional part of bash script is ... for i in /etc/webalizer/*.conf do /usr/bin/webalizer -Q -c $i done This worked under Fedora 17 and earlier releases, but under Fedora 19 (with the default /etc/webalizer.conf file renamed and the "-Q" replaced with "-v") webalizer produces the message: "Error: Unable to open configuration file /etc/webalizer/webalizers.conf", where the indicated path and file is what was passed on the "-c" option, with similar failures for all other conf files in /etc/webalizer directory. Other messages follow that confirm the intended output directory, history file, and hostname are not being used, proving that the intended conf while was indeed not processed. The access attributes including SE context on the conf files in question are identical with those on the default installed /etc/webalizer.conf file. Tried changing the script to change to directory /etc/webalizer and pass webalizer just the file name, but that failed with similar messages. The only way I could get this to function was to copy each conf file in succession to the default webalizer conf files /etc/webalizer.conf and invoke webalizer without any "-c" option, as in ... for i in /etc/webalizer/*.conf do /bin/cp -f --preserve=timestamps $i /etc/webalizer.conf /usr/bin/webalizer -v done Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): webalizer-2.23-05 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Rename original /etc/webalizer.conf file 2.Create /etc/webalizer directory containing webalizer conf file(s) with unique names 3. Invoke webalizer from a cron script with for i in /etc/webalizer/*.conf do /usr/bin/webalizer -Q -c $i done Actual results: "Error: Unable to open configuration file <-c- option-filenamepath-here>" Expected results: Alternate conf file specifed in -c option should have been used as if it were in /etc/webalizer.conf and no "-c" option was specified. Additional info: I suspect this might be reproducible without using cron scripts, but since my objective was to get this working under cron and there might have been something significant with that environment, all my testing was in that environment.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
