Hi Veerle.

I don't know if this will help you, but I also run an awstats with
nginx, and here is how I managed to make it work.

First, I made a symlink from /var/www/stats/awstats to /usr/lib/cgi-bin

Then, here is the configuration file (it's a virtual host) :

server {

listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

server_name stats.yourwebsite.tld;

access_log /var/log/nginx/stats.yourwebsite.tld.access.log combined;
error_log /var/log/nginx/stats.yourwebsite.tld.error.log;
root /var/www/stats;

location ^~ /awstats-icon {
alias /usr/share/awstats/icon/;
access_log off;
}

location ^~ /awstatscss {
alias /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/css/;
access_log off;
}

location ^~ /awstatsclasses {
alias /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/classes/;
access_log off;
}

location ~ ^/.*\.pl$ {
gzip off;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
fastcgi_index index.cgi;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/var/www/stats$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
}

}

Then, you will be able to access your awstats by
http://stats.yourwebsite.tld/awstats/awstats.pl

And don't hesitate to add authentication.

Thanks.
