I didn't see webalizer (http://www.webalizer.org/) on the list. I use it now on linux. It was really easy to set up using webmin, and I now provide statistics and log analysis to all my clients. It supports Common Log Format, so it analyses web, ftp, and squid proxy logs. Wouldn't it be great if there was a Common Log Format option for Witango.Log?
I had used Summary for years because it could analyse AppleShare IP web logs. I always found the configuration squirrely. >Thanks John!
