Goaccess: Unable to open fifo out: No such device or address.

[jcfromkc]

I'm using Centos 7. I just installed GoAccess on a fresh new web server running Apache. When I run the command

goaccess -f /var/log/httpd/access_log -o /var/www/html/report.html --real-time-html

I receive the following error message.

Unable to open fifo out: No such device or address.

I'm able to go to mydomain.com/report.html and see a snapshot of my stats. Its not real-time as shown in your example.

I ran across an article that said to run --enable-debug but I don't know where and how to run this command. When I append it to the "goaccess -f /var/log/httpd/access_log -o /var/www/html/report.html --real-time-html" command it gives me an error message.

Is GoAccess compatible with Centos 7? If so, will you please point me in the right direction to get past this error message?

Thx, JC

Which version are you using? I believe this may have been fixed on a previous release.

I used

yum install goaccess -y

to install it using the repo.

It appears to be working now!!! Thank you for your assistance.

Below are the commands I used on Centos 7 to get it working.

yum groupinstall "Development tools"
yum install GeoIP-devel
yum install ncurses*

wget http://tar.goaccess.io/goaccess-1.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf goaccess-1.2.tar.gz
cd goaccess-1.2/
./configure --enable-utf8 --enable-geoip=legacy
make
make install

vi /usr/local/etc/goaccess.conf

goaccess -f /var/log/httpd/access_log -o /var/www/html/report.html --real-time-html

Thank you for creating this amazing program and supporting it!!

Thanks again, JC

Glad that worked! Closing this.

I'm having this same issue with GoAccess 1.2.

I'm using Apache 2.4.6 on CentOS 7. I have SSL configured in Apache, which is listening on ports 80 and 443. The console mode of GoAccess works fine, and updates live. The --real-time-html mode doesn't update.

@willhains It should work alongside with Apache. I'd say please update to v1.3 and try again. Please also ensure you have a valid certificate if using an encrypted connection and that you are using wss. Also, take a look at the browser's console and see what's reporting.
