I totally disagree.  I knew Apache had a log, but I rarely looked in there before, and 
it didn't occur to me that the default format wasn't suitable for Analog.

What typos?  That's exactly what I have now, running.  And no, it is NOT the default 
Apache setting - I had to add the %v in there.

Looking thru my old apache log, I saw several entries that did not have the file 
accessed, but rather had some search engine url.

Again, my current config is:

For Apache:
       LogFormat "%h %l %t \"%r\" %>s %b %v \"%{referer}i\" \"%{user-Agent}i\"" 
combination
       LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
       LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
       CustomLog logs/access_log combined

And for Analog:

       LOGFORMAT (%s - [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j %j] "%j %r %j" %c %b %v "%f" "%B")

If there is something wrong here, please let me know.

The biggest thing the online docs need are examples, and defaults.  

For example, if none of the reports are expressly turned on or off, what reports are 
generated by default?

For each of the different reports, what are the valid COLS commands for them?  What 
are the default COLS?

In the FAQ, I'm sure many users would benefit from the main question I had: How come 
the Virtual Domain report doesn't work?  The answer turned out to be three things:

1. Add a VHOST ON in /etc/analog.cfg
2. Modify Apache's httpd.conf file as shown above to log the vhost domain
3. Define LOGFORMAT in /etc/analog.cfg as shown above.

There are a lot of us newbies out there that just need a little more direction than 
man pages without examples.

Thanks.
