Hello Ryan,

Your nginx.conf is too tangled. See an easier example:

# stats.example.com
server {
     listen 80;
     server_name stats.example.com;
     access_log /var/log/nginx/stats.example.com-access_log main;
     error_log /var/log/nginx/stats.example.com-error_log;
     root /srv/www/stats.example.com/www;
     index index.html;

     location ~ ^/cgi-bin/(awredir|awstats)\.pl {
         gzip off;
         fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/cgi-bin.php;
         fastcgi_param X_SCRIPT_FILENAME 
/srv/www/stats.example.com/awstats/wwwroot$fastcgi_script_name;
         fastcgi_param X_SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
         include fastcgi_params;
     }
}

$ ls /srv/www/stats.example.com/www/

I've followed the awstats installation guide and these steps to get 
awstasts working with FastCGI and so far everything is going well:

Also make sure to add SSL encryption and authentication before going 
live and you should be done.
