Does anyone recomend a client stats program? Has anyone used Urchin?

I like Webalizer, http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/

anyone know how to setup webalizer?

I have set it up on a server before. It's quite easy actually.

If by chance you are using a Cobalt RaQ3, I recently posted the instructions at:

There was an article in the Web Hosting Magazine titled WebTrends v.s. Urchin. Urchin won hands down, very attractive piece of software although I have had no personal experience with it.

If you get a chance, take a look at Webtrends. It has been out for many years and keeps getting better.

You can get a copy for free to try for 14 days at http://www.webtrends.com.

Webalizer and AWstats have been around for years and support Linux and Windows. They're both great stats packages.

I would recommend awstats, seems much more detailed than webalizer

Webalizer was good a few years ago, but it simply has not kept up.. If you want an open source solution then awstats would be the way to go.
The commerical solutions vary a lot, but urchin has excellent features that really run rings around awstats

http://awstats.sourceforge.net/ all the way :)

I don't see a big difference between awstats and webalizer ~

They both have: monthly stats, daily stats, hourly stats, search strings, visitors by country, user agents / browsers, error pages ~

I see awstats has the 'days of week' stats that shows the average hits on weekdays (mon to sun) ~:homer:

Not a big difference to me, except that the awstats has a more friendly interface that webalizer ~ :stickout:

However, webalizer also have good advantages. I'd say webalizer is at least 50% faster than awstats when producing stats and doesn't spike the server load too much ~ :love:

Webalizer does not handle Geo IP stuff nor a number of other features.
It also doesn't know about a lot of user agents as it hasn't been updated in over 24 months.

That I don't know~

Webalizer can use geolizer to track visitors accurately~
