I am a brand-spanking-new web designer. I've downloaded two web log analyzers, AWstats and Webalizer, but can't figure out how to use either of them. I was under the impression that it was simple to just run your log file through a program to giveyou your stats - but I'm having trouble. I just started my first, small site and mainly need to check any robots activity. Can anyone suggest a newbie-friendly program or site with dumbed-down instructions?
Thanks!

First off, there is no ONE analyzer that will meet all your needs. Depending on your needs, you may need more then one.

Second, AWSTATS works very well and is expanding. Make sure you install perl on the system you install AWSTATS on. Once youknow that is working, the instructions that come with AWSTATS should work fine. If you still have problems, feel free to post again, or email me.
