I'm trying to setup awstats on a computer running iis on xp. I installed activeperl and awstats. I setup a virtual directory to point to the wwwroot in awstat's folder in program files.

my web hosts logs are configured as such

#Fields: date time c-ip cs-username s-ip s-port cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query sc-status cs(User-Agent)

so i set Log format to

LogFormat="%time2 %host %logname %host_r %other %method %url %other %code %ua"

I granted iusr_machinename modify permissions on the wwwroot folder in awstat's folder in program files

when i goto http://localhost/awstats/cgi-bin/aws...www.mysite.com and click update i see the following

Error: Your personalized LogFormat does not include all fields required by AWStats (Add %bytesd in your LogFormat string).

Setup ('C:\Program Files\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin/awstats.www.mysite.com.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

what can i do to troubleshoot this?

Looks to me like you have to include %bytesd in your LogFormat so where you have

LogFormat="%time2 %host %logname %host_r %other %method %url %other %code "

you could have

LogFormat="%time2 %host %logname %host_r %other %method %url %other %code %bytesd"

ugh, i was trying to avoid the requirement for this. the log file doesn't contain data for bytesd
