i got one website package: www.lostblur.net,
with 3 seperate domains on it.
for one of those domains: www.mzriders.com
i would like to track the web stats seperately from the rest.
i have switched to awestats which i find to be more detailed than the previous method, but i would still like to get even more data than that.
i am not too consered with space it would take up since i would be downloading the backups to my pc once a month.
so, what is the best most detailed webstats software package that can be installed into my powweb account?
thanks
If you want detail, and the ability to re-analyze detail, look on my Tips & Scripts page (link in my sig). You will see how to make auto archives of the detail, plus how to analyze.
If you want to track multiple domain names I think you will have to give the pages unique names, as each domain space is treated as the root in the stats. So if index.htm is the default page for 3 domain names then you will not be able to tell them apart. But using htaccess you can specify a starting page name that is different. Then name each subsequent page uniquely as well.

isnt there a way to simply install some kind of a software pack on the ftp, and then just go to a location on the site to view the statistics, (like the powweb builtin stats)
without going through the pain and hassle of tagging every html including the default, inside so they trigger the statistics?
mzriders.com is all php dynamic generated, i wont even know how to tag there, nor would i want to, with all the threads/posts etc.
The non-unique name problem is only for files with the same name that are also in directories with the same name. The root for each domain for example (they are all /). And any other subdirectories you name the same for the various domains.
If you are using some scripts named the same, then just put them in subdirectories for each domain that are named something different. Then from the default load page, go there - just as one solution.
If the directories have different names then you can see the stats for the same named pages in the different named directories.
You now see the problem and the potential solutions. You get to pick one.

i am not sure i fully understand you.
the main page of this powweb package is in(as viewed from the ftp browser)
/htdocs/ (www.lostblur.net)
the webstats for that page is in
/htdocs/webstats/ (www.lostblur.net/webstats)
the second domain pag is in
/htdocs/mz/ (www.mzriders.com)
so do you mean that by simply creating a page
/htdocs/mz/webstats (which will be viewed as (www.mzriders.com/webstats)
will have seperately tracked stats for that domain?
What I am trying to say is . . . lets say you have a bunch of scripts and one of the names is script.php
Then . . .
domain1.com/script.php and domain2.com/script.php will both show up in the logs as /script.php
but domain1.com/directory1/scripts.php will show up as directory1/scripts.php and domain2.com/directory2/scripts.php will show up as directory2/scripts.php
this has nothing to do with webstats. i am talking about the raw logs. webstats then takes those raw logs and produces a report. but it can only report what is in the raw logs.
btw - i do not use webstats. see my Tips & Scripts page (link in my sig).
