+<font class=CSolution>SOLUTION:</font><br>\r
+First, try to run awstats.pl from command line to see if file is correct. If you get some\r
+syntax errors and use a Unix like OS, check if your file is a Unix like text file (This\r
+means each line end with a LF char and not a CR+LF char).<br>\r
+If awstats.pl file runs correctly from command line, this is probably because your\r
+web server is not able to known how to run perl scripts. This problem can occur with Apache web\r
+servers with no internal Perl interpreter (mod_perl not active). To solve this, you must\r
+tell Apache where is your external Perl interpreter.<br>\r
<u>For this, you have 2 solutions:</u><br>\r
1) Add the following directive in your Apache <b>httpd.conf</b> config (or remove the # to uncomment it if line is already available)<br>\r
<b><i>ScriptInterpreterSource registry</i></b><br>\r
Then restart Apache. This will tell Apache to look into the registry to find the program associated to .pl extension.<br>\r
