Adding specific sites to AWSTATS

Hi folks,

I'm using Windows 2000 Server, Cold Fusion MX, and Apache 2 webserver,
and AWSTATS does a perfect job of giving me my server stats. The only
thing that gets requested of me from Marketing is they want specific
page hit counts from time to time. I generally have to import the
access.log file into MS Access and run a quick query to get the
numbers they need.

Is there anyway to add these pages to AWSTATS so there's another
section showing the total hits of specific pages? These hits aren't
in any top nth, so they don't show-up. I checked the AWSTATS
documentation, and either I'm missing it, or this isn't a feature.

Another option was to create my queries in MS Access and just create a
website to publish the query results... but this would require me to
import the access.log file into MS Access periodically, and I wanted
them to have live data. I also thought of setting-up access.log as a
DSN and querying directly from this file, but Windows wants a .txt
file... it won't accept a .log file.

If anyone has suggestions either with AWSTATS or another way, please
let me know. Thanks for any suggestions or comments.

Keegan.

I have had to do this at a previous company I worked for,

The easiest way was to have a small piece of ASP in an include file and at
the top of each page include it and pass in parameters (pagename, sitename
etc) where the ASP opens an SQL or Access database and increments the hit
count - and even store the IP of the hitter. (if the DB is designed right.)
