Xitami is the best all around web server.  I've been running it now for a
year and it beats the h*** out of the Apache I was using.  I wouldn't have
anything else.

Notepad.  It's as good as anything.

It's not really the log reader... You just set the type of log format you
want in the Xitami default.cfg.  [Accesslog]
Format= "CLFX"
This is the same as the generic NCSA.  This gives you the long form which
includes bots/spiders, search words used, search phrases, browser type,
sites connected from, operating systems, plus all that the short log form
gives.  Then you can read it with whatever log reader you wish.  I use
awstats.pl .

For me this has worked for many months, but now my Xitami server has stopped
giving the long form even though it is set for CLFX and I have not changed
anything that I know of.

This is my dilemma...
