The Advanced Web Server Properties dialog will assist you in setting precise values to retrieve the logfiles for your dataset. Under normal conditions, these settings should not be changed.
FTP Options
If you experience problems in logfile retrieval, such as multiple FTP errors, setting these options could correct the situation.
Delay time between connections:
This value sets the seconds to delay between successive FTP login attempts to retrieve logfiles and is useful when connecting to FTP servers that have a restriction on successive or multiple logins. This will effectively throttle the FTP login process back, resulting in slightly slower retrieval times for multiple logfiles.
To set the delay time: Uncheck the "No delay" checkbox. Set the delay time in seconds by typing in the digits into the text box, or use the spin control. Try setting the delay time in 10- to 15-second increments and run the server once again to see if the FTP errors are corrected.
To remove the delay time: Check the "No delay" checkbox.
Logfile Options
Assume Microsoft IIS style logfile rotation
logfile format is automatically detected by the server process. If your server processing results are not generating .NLF files, and you are using a version of the Microsoft IIS web server, set this checkbox to checked option to force the server into IIS logfile mode.
Customize apache logfile format
It may be necessary to specify exactly which logfile fields contain which data for Apache logfiles. This is because Apache does not include header data. ClickTracks determines which fields are which by parsing the first 100 requests in a logfile and assigning the type based on the format of the data found. Sometimes, that data does not correspond to expected formats. This could be caused by a preponderance of spiders crawling the site, or a multi-domain logfile that contains a very large number of domains. Whatever the reason, the solutions is to click the "Customize apache logfile format" button and specify specifically which type of data is in which field.
Logfile index of Server IP(Apache only)
Version 5.1
In versions earlier than 5.1, a less capable method of establishing the format of Apache logs was used.
If you are experiencing problems with the processing of multi-domain web sites on Apache server due to the Server IP field not being recognized and detected, use this setting to specify which column in the logfile contains the Server IP value.
To set the Server IP value - Uncheck the Use default checkbox. Set the Server IP column by selecting the number from the dropdown list that corresponds to the column that contains the Server IP.
