Hello ~
I have posted a tutorial on my blog,
http://www.benr75.com/pages/lighttpd_awstats_tutorial, on how to get
AWStats and Lighttpd to work together. I thought it might be of
interest to
Rails folk as I know many run Light.
Enjoy,
There’s another tutorial on this topic too:

And now that I actually clicked on the link to your page, I see that
you’re
aware of this. 
Thanks for that tutorial.
I wanted to use awstats’ facility to generate static html pages,
rather than running it via CGI, and a script to automatically generate
stats for all my sites. I made a quick blog post showing how to do
it: http://www.flpr.org/articles/2006/01/24/awstats-the-static-way
