Hi Folks,

I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips that might help resolve 
this problem - thankyou in advance for taking the time to read and 
consider our problem.

SITUATION:

I've successfully installed Analog 4.90 beta 4 on a box running 
RedHat 7.0. Almost zero problems there - very straight-forward.

One of the websites being analysed is moderately busy and we 
routinely expect between 1.3 and 2.2 million *pages* in a month. 

I successfully customized the form to allow me to select multiple 
log files from a set of files present on the server and have been 
successful when using it to analyse multiple files via the form 
interface.

PROBLEM:

However, once we try to analyse more than 6 or 7 months of data 
at a time, the length of time taken for Analog to process the logs 
extends beyond the 5 minute timeout period for web browsers and 
they return the dreaded "Unable to Contact Server" error. 

Meanwhile, Analog blissfully goes on and finished the analysis in 
the background, but with no output pipe, dumps the results 
somewhere into hyperspace.

An individual month takes between 38s and 2 minutes to process. 

QUESTIONS:

Does anyone know how to extend the browser timeout period ?

Alternatively, has anyone tried to write some fancy sleight-of-hand 
scripting which will get around this ?

I know we could run the lengthy reports from the command line and 
produce "canned" html for later display but I would really like our 
clients to be able to specificy ranges and perhaps file filters 
themselves via the form if they are interested in more specific 
analysis.

All feedback very gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
ajb.
