You're going to have problems running remstats as root.  You don't run your 
web-server as root do you?  Go back to the directory where you unpacked it 
and , as root, type "make owner".  Then only run remstats programs as the 
remstats user.  I'm assuming that you did create one.

This will happen if you don't have a host config file for the pseudo-host 
_remstats_.  Since "new-config" will create this, I don't know how you 
avoided getting it created?  How did you create your configuration 
directory?  Did you use "new-config /var/remstats/etc/config" or wherever 
you told it to expect configuration directories?  Which version of remstats 
are you installing from?
