For most cases, you may want to prevent your web statistics from public access. You can do it by protecting your script directory with a password challenge.
Replace what in 'Step 1. Set global permisstion for the AWStats directory' with the following:
<Directory /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "AWStats - Web, FTP, and Mail Statistics"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/.awstats.pwd
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Finally, a simpler version (fixed time) of cron job is placed:
$ cat /etc/cron.d/awstats
45 03 * * * root /usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now
-awstatsprog=/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
-configdir=/etc/awstats/ >/dev/null 2>&1
