Installing AWStats in Windows

I have just completed moving our company's websites locally and I am setting up AWStats to track the websites' statistics.  It is a very good free software and I introduced this application to a client where I previously worked and they used it to track the traffic going to their website and used the data to get people to advertise on their site. 

In order to run this on a Windows server, you have to install ActivePerl.  AWStats is written in Perl.  The log files that you want to use in AWStats will have to be compliant to the format it requires.  You can change what you want to log through the IIS snap-in.  Details are found in the installation guide on the AWStats website.

While googling, I came across an installation document provided by Ihsen Consulting which I found useful.  You can download the document from http://www.ihsen.com/support/InstallingAWStatsOnIIS6.pdf

iLife 06 upgrade price, not acceptable!

I bought a mac mini last nov. when I went to NY for a holiday. It is my first Apple since the Apple IIe days, I think it was the 80s. The mac mini came installed with Mac OS X Tiger and iLife 05. It was recently that I signed up for a trial of the .mac service and discovered iWeb for blogging. Of course I want to use iWeb but it is not available with iLife 05. So I thought okay, lets see if I can upgrade to iLife 06 and to my surprise I have to pay $75 to upgrade. Why do I have to pay that amount to upgrade to iLife 06 when I paid for iLife 05 less than 6 months ago. I am furious and it does not justify to upgrade to iLife 06 when there has not been any significant changes since iLife 05 apart from iWeb. Now we know how Apple makes their money from desktop/laptop users, by charging for each upgrade and charging for the usage of .mac. What a rip off.
