The log file is a plain text file with a .log extension, but that's not what 
"logfile format" means, as you appear to know, but your service provider 
doesn't :-(. The problem is that you have a "standard" logformat with an 
additional field at the start - the "stpeterskinver.org: " that your ISP is 
using to separate your logentries from everyone elses, but in a location that 
can't be recognized automatically. 

This LOGFORMAT matches the line you provided:
LOGFORMAT (%v: [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %S %j %j "%j %r %j" %c %b "%f" "%B")

You can tell Analog where to put it's output with the OUTFILE command, or +O 
command line parameter. But if you put it in a different location, you may need 
to set the IMAGEDIR and CHARTDIR and LOCALCHARTDIR settings too.
