Re: Stat app recommendation
I would second awStats, especially as a good starting point. Not too bad to set up and might give you everything you need. You do have to install Perl though if you are not already running that.

RE: Stat app recommendation
So I guess if we already own a copy of urchin, then no point switching? Urchin seems really easy to set up though... I've moved the configuration over from the windows to linux system, and it took me about 10 seconds to install urchin, and then I just had to copy one directory over, and it picked up all the profiles, the serial, and everything... and all that directory had was 5 files. What about awstats... they seemed ok when I used them for a different server. Not as flash or easy to set up as urchin, but not bad... -Original Message- From: Kay Smoljak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 6:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Stat app recommendation On 8/24/05, Russ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How does it compare with urchin?
