well, webalizer is the gran-daddy of most of these and (provided you're willing to do a bit of tweaky configuration) does a darn good job of giving you web results. (a leaned down version is what Dreamhost sets up for you.)
hmm... i tried installing webalizer on some other domain a while ago, and was undr the impression that i couldnt install it on my personal account - that it had to be installed directly on the server itself. ill look into it again.
If you have shell access, you've got all you need to install it.
telnet/ssh scares me. lol. always feel like the world is gonna end with one wrong keystroke
I've actually downloaded a Win binary of Webalizer and just download my logs into the webalizer directory. It's pretty easy.
so it comes down to: do i want to put out a big burst of enercy to ssh and configure and cron job the thing}, or do i want to put out a small burst of energy every week or so to download the logs?
You may like analog. It is extremely configurable, extremely fast, runs on all common platforms, and can be made to produce pretty graphs or ascii art, whatever you like. Webalizer is nice enough, but analog rules.
