Traffic Analyser for Actinic?

[marknc]

I have been looking for an effective traffic analyser for Actinic that is not too convoluted to install and doesn't slow it down. I have spent a day looking through scripts and trying one or two but nothing I have seen really makes me go "Wow!".
Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this. We don't even mind paying for the service if it's good. Our site is due to go live tonite and I am anxious to get it hooked up with some stats.

Hi Mark,

I use Bitstrike's Log Analyser. You can see it at http://www.bitstrike.com/

This is a really useful tool and it does not cost very much. I am already using it with 4 Actinic sites and as long as your pages/sections are well named it gives really good results.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the Lite Trial and it does look good. However I have two problems.

1. There is someone else on the other side of the country who needs to see the results so I will need a browser interface.

2. I don't think that Bitstrike recognises our log files (named eg, access.log.1074016800)

Tricky for me as I'm not very technical either.

Maybe your host has stats and hasn't told you about them? Try www.domain.com/stats - a wild stab in the dark!

If not, maybe they can offer you some for a fee?

These work well for me. See http://www.analog.cx/ and http://www.webalizer.com/

Mark,

If you are having problems getting the software to see the log files you might want to try postign to the bitstrike forum or contacting support by email, I have always found them quick.

If you are doing the stats periodically you can always export the report as html, zip it up and email it over.

Re: Logs

Thanks very much chaps. You've all given me some things to try. One thing leads to another. I'll let you know what transpires.
