I'm trying to get awstats installed on a new server and I can get it to generate the data files, but they're all labels as awstatsMMYYYY.txt instead of awstats.example.com.MMMMYY.txt. If I rename them after they're created, they show up correctly in the web interface. I'm using awstats 7.1. I'm invoking it using the following:

Nevermind. I didn't realized I had downloaded awstats beta (7.1). Stable (7.0) works, so this is probably just a bug.
