[analog-help] Log Format on Windows Server

[Smith, Michael K]

While reviewing the instructions in the Perl file, I noticed LOGFORMAT
was in the forbidden list, so moved it to allowed.  The log files were
then processed and the results displayed.  I then removed the LOGFORMAT
from the cfg file, and it ran OK.  With no LOGFORMAT command, I moved it
from allowed back to forbidden, and there were no results!  Putting it
back in allowed made it work again.  There must be a LOGFORMAT somewhere
else, so will leave it.

I'll review the list to find posts on how to solve the CGI error.

Thanks!
Mike

IIS 6 seems to interact with the perl engine slightly differently than
earlier versions of IIS, and it doesn't see the necessary headers. It's
been mentioned a number of the times on the list ever since IIS6 was
released.

I notice that your output refers to
I:\websites\structures\mast\stats\\errors.txt. Can you get rid of that
double backslash? If that doesn't work, take out the ERRFILE reference
altogether - you're obviously capturing the output from STDERR.

Is the Last Request (LR) in the logfile at 04/02/2007 18:22? It seems
likely that Analog got that number from your logfiles. (The 4/4 date is
the time that you ran the report).

You don't need any LOGFORMAT command with that logfile - Analog will
recognize it automatically from the #Software and #Fields lines.
