[analog-help] ambiguous dates errors at the beginning of every month

2002-11-12 Thread analog-help
I am having a difficult time trying to determine why this error comes up at
the beginning of every month and lasts until the middle of the month.

For example, I am getting this ambiguous date errors from October 1 -
October 12.  From October 12 - October 31 the log files are processed fine.

Now from November 1 - November 8 I am getting these errors again.

I have checked the log files over and the date format (which is mm/dd/)
does not change for the above dates.  This only seems to affect sites that
are configured to use Microsoft IIS log format.  

This problem does not seem to affect sites configured to use W3C Extended
log format.  

This problem happens every month without fail.  Anyone have any ideas as to
why?

I am running Analog 5.22 on a W2K box with IIS 5.


Thanks

This is answered in the Frequently Asked Questions page:
http://www.analog.cx/docs/faq.html#faq106

Is 10/8/02 the 10th of August, or the 8th of October? 

How do you know? How is Analog supposed to know?

 From October 12 - October 31 the log files are processed
 fine. 

13/10/02 or 10/13/02 - there's no room for confusion there.

 I have checked the log files over and the date format (which is
 mm/dd/) does not change for the above dates.  This only seems to
 affect sites that are configured to use Microsoft IIS log format.

Microsoft IIS log format doesn't use a consistent date format. It uses the System date 
format, which varies from region to region, and doesn't indicate anywhere in the log 
which format it is using.

 This problem does not seem to affect sites configured to use W3C
 Extended log format.

W3C uses a standard date format, no matter what the region.
