If I was a betting man, I would say you need to label
/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot as httpd_sys_content_t

# semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot
# restorecon -R -v /usr/share/awstats

Will probably fix the problem. If this is a standard setup, we need to
put this in the base policy.
