AWStats - Can't locate the icons

[Wighty]

Because my web host doesn't want to tweak his AWStats config file, I loaded my own copy and was able to configure the program, except that I am not seeing any graphics or icons.

I'm certain that the problem is that I have not properly identified the correct path to the icon directory, but after several itterations I'm not getting any closer to it.

I'm hoping someone here will help me "see the light"...

Here's the information I think you'll need:
My web is on an Apache server:

........................./cgi-bin (AWStats.pl & Config files)
.......Public_Html___/icon (AWStats icon files)
....../ .................\____ index file for the website
root -
......\___tmp
.............\Awstats (the log file is here)

I'm accessing the AWStats program from my browser using this URL:
[domain.com...]

All the numerical stats & tables are created, but the icons & graphics are missing.

The AWStats config file model offers this guidance for setting the DirIcons path. I'm using the default path but apparently that is not correct:

# Relative or absolute web URL of your awstats icon directory.
# If you build static reports ("... -output > outputpath/output.html"), enter
# path of icon directory relative to the output directory 'outputpath'.
# Example: "/awstatsicons"
# Example: "../icon"
# Default: "/icon" (means you must copy icon directories in "/mywwwroot/icon")
#
DirIcons="/icon"

Well, I found the problem and it wasn't the icon directory path. For some reason the icon directory permissions need to be set to execute rather than just read.

I'm still trying to understand why that is necessary. I'm sure I'm missing something simple...
