These log files are not properly formatted. You can use them by specifying custom log formats using the LOGFORMAT command in your analog.cfg (see http://analog.cx/docs/logfmt.html for details).
However, you should contact your hosting company and submit a bug report to them and/or the server that's generating these files because they should be fixed to comply with the spec. The cs-uri-stem field should have a '-' if there is no data for it and obviously the headers should be named right. I suspect (but it's pure speculation) that these files are actually generated by your hosting company with a script they created internally after parsing the web server logs. So I think they may have control of the source and be able to fix this rather quickly. -- Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group Peter Greene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Wednesday, March 31, 2004 7:54 AM): > Can anyone help with (a probably simple?) problem.
