Hello,

I wanted to make some changes to the config file and make sure it was
in the right place to run Analog, so I downloaded Analog again and
swapped in the attached config file within its main folder. Then I
tried to run Analog. I got a blank command prompt screen for 15
seconds or so, and then nothing happened.

That's exactly what's supposed to happen - http://analog.cx/docs/startpc.html

Then I found an errors.txt
file in the Analog folder that said the following:

C:\Program Files\analog 6.0\analog.exe: Warning F: Failed to open DNS
input
  file C:\Program Files\analog 6.0\dnscache.txt: ignoring it

You just created a "clean" installation, which obviously won't have a DNS cache file the first time Analog runs. Now that you've created a DNS cache file (from the addresses Analog found in the sample logfile.log that is processed by default if there's no other logfile available) you shouldn't get that error again.

Uness your log file is pretty small - dozens rather than hundreds or thousands of hosts - you probably don't want Analog doing the DNS lookups.

C:\Program Files\analog 6.0\analog.exe: Warning F: Failed to open
logfile
  I:\Logfiles\IIS\bnn\W3SVC428157701\*.*: ignoring it
C:\Program Files\analog 6.0\analog.exe: Fatal error: failed to open
output
  file I:\websites\srvmetrics\doc\logmetrics\data.dat for writing:
exiting

Your I: drive, if it's mapped, isn't mapped to were you think it is.

Does anyone know what I did wrong and how to fix it? Thanks.

Edit your LOGFILE and OUTFILE commands to point to locations that exist when Analog is running, or map your I: drive so that I:\Logfiles\IIS\bnn\W3SVC428157701\*.* actually exists.
