I do reacall that I had to basically configure the windows IIS side myself as the awstats did not process all the different log file cases at the time. I changed the script to incorporate all of the relevant log files. This may be part of the problem and I don't recall if caching was supported at the time. I am using the old/first? server IIS (v5.0) so maybe awstats works only for the newer/latest IIS version. I can check once again to see what the problem I had was. In any case - trying to get ALL the log files initially was a HUGE processing chore - and it worked at first but as time went on, it got worst and worst and finally stopped working altogether.
