When I create a log file based on the sample you provided below, name it WebSTAR.log, and run it against the 5.1d Mac distribution with no changes to the configuration file I get:
Processing... analog: analog version 5.1/Mac analog: Warning M: Logfile WebSTAR.log contains lines with no file names: page counts may be low (For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html) analog: Warning M: Logfile WebSTAR.log contains lines with no bytes: byte counts may be low analog: Warning R: Turning off empty time reports analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Request Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Failure Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty File Type Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Directory Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Referrer Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Referring Site Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Failed Referrer Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Browser Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Search Word Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Browser Summary analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Operating System Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty File Size Report analog: Warning R: Turning off empty Status Code Report analog: Warning R: In Domain Report, turning off empty pie chart analog: Warning R: In Organisation Report, turning off pie chart of only one wedge analog: Warning R: In Host Report, turning off pie chart with no wedges Complete! That all makes sense to me, there are no request names or byte counts in your sample log. When I drag and drop that log onto the Analog application I get exactly the error messages you describe below. Drag and drop attepmts to determine if a file is a log file or a configration file by looking at the first character. If the first character is a '#' it assumes that it must be a configuration file. That assumption is wrong in this case, but there is no need to use drag and drop, so you can avoid the problem.

For example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system. -- Peter van der Linden, Expert C Programming, Deep C Secrets +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
