That doesn't sound right. If someone can execute the perl-script in that directory, they can also probably execute the .exe file itself, bypassing the security filters that the perl script imposes. But that's not your problem here. > D:\Inetpub\sites\username\logs\W3SVC3486\*.log > > If I put a copy of the logs into the 'scripts' directory, it works > perfectly, with the following reference in the config file: > > LOGFILE *.log > > However, with the following line, it fails to return any results: > > LOGFILE "d:\inetpub\sites\username\logs\W3SVC3486\*.log" I presume that you are accessing Analog from the form interface, rather than running it from a commandline yourself? If that is the case, then Analog will be running in the user-context of the anonymous user on the website, and that anonymous user probably doesn't have read access to d:\inetpub\sites\username\logs\W3SVC3486\*.log, but it will have read access to any file in the website itself, so when you put the file in your scripts directory, it can read it.
