It's probably because the site generates logfiles each day that are larger than the size permitted for it.

Logfiles are generally allowed to grow to 10% of the size of the site - if you allow 50Mb of data for the whole site, this means only 5Mb of logfile.

cd /etc/logrotate.d

Look at the size of the entry for web.log and increase it.


>2. How do I rectify it so it updates as usual every day?


See above

>3. How do I go about updating the stats with the cache file?


???
