Hi there,

I'm trying to parse a simple file that contains a list of ip addresses.

for example:

70.61.50.68
204.235.114.59
71.54.55.116
65.101.218.196
67.85.243.57
76.14.62.171

my config is LogFormat=”%host”

When I run:

C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\AWStats\\cgi-bin>awst
ats.pl -config=cs -update

Create/Update database for config “C:\\I
netpub\\wwwroot\\AWStats\\cgi-bin/awstats.
cs.conf” by AWStats version 6.9 (build
1.925)

From data in log file “C:/Logs/ips.log”

Error: Your personalized LogFormat does
not include all fields required by AWS
tats (Add %time1 or %time2 in your LogF
ormat string).

Setup ('C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\AWStats\\cgi-
bin/awstats.cs.conf' file, web server o
r permissions) may be wrong.

Check config file, permissions and AWSt
ats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

LogFormat=”%host”

I'm a newbie to awstats, so any help would be appreciated.

thanks, Cry

Hi,

The message you got is clear : "Error: Your personalized LogFormat does not include all fields required by AWStats ". A file with just IP addresses cannot be analyzed by AWStats.

Hello again,

I've modified my log file to the following:

LogFormat = “%time2 %method %url %host %code %bytesd”

C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\AWStats\\cgi-bin>perl
awstats.pl -config=cs update

Create/Update database for config “./aw
stats.cs.conf” by AWStats version 6.9 (
build 1.925)

From data in log file “C:/Logs/iisip-9.
txt”…

Phase 1 : First bypass old records, sea
rching new record…

Searching new records from beginning of
log file…

Jumped lines in file: 0
Parsed lines in file: 23115
Found 23113 dropped records,

Any clue what I'm missing here?
