Rewriteing awstats to base path

Hi,

I like to beautify my urls used for awstats.

Currently I have to use the following path for awstats

/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.example.com
that works as expected.

For easier handling for our users I like to shorten the url to
/www.example.com
I tried a simple rewrite like

rewrite ^/www.example.com$ /cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.example.com;

but I’ll get the following error

2013/12/31 23:43:20 [error] 23736#0: *1 open()
“/srv/awstats/dist/wwwroot/awstats.pl” failed (2: No such file or directory),
client: ::ff:123.123.123.123, server: awstats.example.com, request: “GET
/awstats.pl?config=www.example.com&framename=mainleft HTTP/1.1”, host:
awstats.example.com”, referrer: “http://awstats.example.com/www.example.com

here is the full server block

            include fastcgi_params;

}
Desired url http://awstats.example.com/www.example.com

Probably I didn’t fully understand the rewrite rules.

Hopefully you can help!

Best regards
moe
