Obtaining Access Logs for User Web Sites?
David Hilbert asks: "I have a very amateurish home page for sharing family photos and unusually useful links with my friends and family, here. For a long time my son hosted my website on his computer. He added a visitor log to it. Even though my web site is rarely accessed, I still had great joy in looking over my visitor log daily to determine who was accessing my website.
My son's situation, changed, however, and he could no longer host my website. I still wanted a web site, however, so had my ISP host it as they do for any member. However, my web site visitor log was gone. My ISP was either unwilling or unable to give me a log file of accesses to my site. I found a temporary alternative, however. I subscribed to a commercial service at the ToolShack to capture and do a fancy analysis of my site's visits (with colorful pie charts, bar graphs, etc). Several months, later, however, Toolshack quit working for me. I sent email to the techies at Toolshack. 'It's a mystery to me' is all I got from them, so I canceled my account. I would like some help finding an alternate web site logging service. I have had no luck thus far. I could do it myself but my ISP doesn't allow any scripts on user's web sites. Any ideas on how I could get a visitor log?"
Boy, you're sure gonna have quite a bit of log file data to look over in a few minutes. At least the box was co-lo'd :)
my comp ethics prof runs his own site so taht he can store stuff there and not be affected by our university's copyright policies. He also stores course info there.
he told us in class that he gets compiled access stats delivered to him on the first of each month. he said it was interesting to see the spike in the graph the evening before and hours before the midterm.
Another shining example of why we need:
-1 Perverted
Or perhaps it should be . . .
(briskly moves pinky to mouth with dramatic music in background)
+1 Perverted?
