This is the root cause.

Try this command:

# usermod -g adm www-data

Re: receive mail notice after upgrade ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.04

Hello I am stepping stone to the question of having found the same problem, not to open another question. is more useful to a post with the solution without. I apologize from the beginning, if I have not made before, and for my not perfect English.
Searching on google I found myself here.
I my problem is the same, but trying ZhangHuangbin as suggested, I have not solved.

This is not the same issue.

You need to update /etc/awstats/awstats.conf to point to correct Apache log file.

You should update Awstats config file to point to correct Apache log file, not create an empty file.
