I use AWStats (file: awstats-6.1-1.noarch.rpm) on a
Suse 9.1 box. I analyze a number of different web
server log files and have trouble with a log by IBM
HTTP Server 1.3.26 (which is a slightly repackaged
Apache version).
My problem: the "/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js" works and
produces the required log entries, but AWStats only
recognizes the screen size (correctly) when parsing the
logs. In the Miscellaneous sections, I only get dashes
instead of values.
Here are two log lines:
xx - - [18/Aug/2004:22:48:20 -0400] "GET
/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js HTTP/1.1" 200 4669 "h
ttp://xx/wps/portal/.scr/Exit" "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET
CLR 1.1.4322)"
xx - - [18/Aug/2004:22:48:20 -0400] "GET
/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js?screen=1280x800&cdi=3

"http://xx/wps/portal/.scr/Exit" "Mozilla/4.0 (compa
tible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"
This looks fine to me. In my config, I also set the
URL correctly:
MiscTrackerUrl="/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js"
And the reporting is also fine:
ShowMiscStats=ajdfrqwp
So how come the screen size is reported correctly but
not the miscellaneous stats?

As it turns out, the miscellaneous stats seem to be counted
somewhat. Here's how they're displayed:
Add to favorites (estimated) 1 / 8 Visitors 12.5 %
Browsers with Java support - 100 %
Browsers with Macromedia Director Support - 20.8 %
Browsers with Flash Support - 100 %
Browsers with Real audio playing support - 94 %
Browsers with Quicktime audio playing support - 85 %
Browsers with Windows Media audio playing support - 100 %
Browsers with PDF support - 100 %
As you can see, only the "Add to favorites" actually has a
visitors number. The other values only seem to display
percentages, no absolute values.
Logged In: YES
user_id=96898
This is the normal way of working.
For browsers with, only a percent is given because reporting
a value on hits does not mean a lot and calculating visitors
is not possible yet.
Logged In: YES
user_id=757452
If that is the normal behavior and the "number column is"
always empty then I suggest to remove this column from this
table (which would also including removing the numeric value
for "Adding to favorites".

I submitted enhancement request 1034743
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1034743&group_id=13764&atid=363764)
for removing the "number of visitors" column.
