Reply-To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Hello, Swiki log files correspond unfortunately to none standard logfiles using by webservers. So almost none of web analysers could be used with this non-standard file. I found recently a workaround for this problem by using analog, which allows to specify your own logfile format. You have to add this line to analog.conf : #Swiki Log Format LOGFORMAT (%s\t%j\t%j\t[%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j %j]%w%r\t%j\t%b\t%B) Then add LOGFILE /path/mylogfile You have now to activate dnslookup (built-in analog) (swiki doesn't resolve ip name in its log): #DNS Lookup DNS WRITE DNSFILE /path/dnscache DNSLOCKFILE /path/lockfile I suggest you to carefully read the great analog documentation (to set up the language for instance), and to install report magic, which outputs funnier reports than analog (but report magic needs analog output). Samir PS: I think that we always should consider the log file format used in whatever wiki or webserver. Developpers, please, consider the possibility to follow more standard ways for those critical kind of things ! Example: swiki returns "authorized" which is a non-standard error code (cf. http protocol, particularly http response codes). -- Samir SAIDANI PhD in CS / Doctorant en informatique web : http://www.info.unicaen.fr/~saidani Universite de Caen - Laboratoire GREYC tel : 02-31-56-74-30 Equipe MAD - Campus II - 14032 Caen Cedex fax : 02-31-56-76-30
