LogInfo, Linux Apache Log Analysis Software

About

This is simple Log Analysis software designed to give the webmaster useful information about who is visiting their website. The software has only a few pre-requisites that should be met by most websites already. Once installed it allows viewing of the reports through a web browser.

Whilst designed and tested for a linux system, it should work on any Apache / Perl / PHP webserver, although it will need to be installed in different directories on a windows system.

The software is released under the GPL as free open source software.

This sofware is currently in beta release. It has now been used on my webserver since June 2005 and appears to be stable.
