It seems, that when i include all the old cachfiles there occurs 'multible-counting', because the cachefile from yesterday includes the data from day before yesterday (and so on) and analog doesn't seem to realize that. I can see that by the fact, that the overall number of hits calculated in the final logfile of the month exceeds the total number of entrys significantly.... Do you have an idea what went wrong ? +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.isite.net/listgate/analog-help/unsubscribe.html | | Digest version: http://lists.isite.net/listgate/analog-help-digest/ | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives +------------------------------------------------------------------------
