Mike, <br>
<br>
Sounds like you have access to the server to be able to analyse the
logs so you may also be in control of apache, most of the log analysers
I've ever looked at are guff.... <br>
<br>
I'd go with Google analytics and there is a way you can do this without
getting the designers to implement your tracking code in there sub
domains or micro sites. <br>
<br>
Firstly us apache mod_rewrite rules to pipe all page requests through a
single PHP page, which then use the request URI to show the appropriate
page from the sub site. <br>
<br>
Secondly if you then use the output buffering in PHP you will be able
to generate the whole page and then modify from your centralised pass
through page, by modify I mean inject your google analytics tracking
code before the end of the body tag. <br>
<br>
All sub sites then tracked through one account. <br>
<br>
Just a though <br>

<pre wrap="">Yes I've used googles download tracking before but this site is actually a
collection of sites under the same domain all done by different designers so
getting them to add google tracking code isn't going to work.
It needs to be logfile analysis.

<pre wrap="">You can set up Google Analytics to track file downloads too - I'm
pretty sure there's information on how to do that in their docs.
Obviously, it doesn't work if you're doing direct downloads, only if
you're going through a page first which is serving the file (but in
reality, you probably should be doing that anyway, precisely to enable
you to gather these sorts of statistics).
I don't know of anything better than AWstats for log file analysis -
I'm sure there's products out there, but it's just not something I've
ever needed to study.

<pre wrap="">I need a web stats package for a big site.
Currently I use AWStats - but that only gives an overview of the top pages
and Google Analytic - but that doesn't track file downloads.
Can anyone recommend something that works through log file analysis and
gives me the access stats for everything not just the top 50 pages.
Cheers
Mike
