Webalizer's what I'm used to using - for the last 20 years or so - not all of us are as techie as the people on here Webalizer was provided by the ISP where my site was hosted - and it's been bundled with cpanel last couple of years by huge hosting-providers like 123-reg in the UK, so it's not 'dead', as such, even if it doesn't suit everyone. However clearly not all hosting providers offer it, and I couldn't figure out how to make the most recent version of Webalizer (old though it is) actually *operate* (try though I did, for a long time). Some techie stuff I apparently just can't do (long-standing issue). I guess we all have different capabilities. * *however*. Eleven days ago I found *this* page. https://www.tobias-schwarz.net/programmierung/webalizer_guie.html Absolutely brilliant. Webalizer for Windows. plug-and-play. It was downloaded and installed - and 31 days of logs analysed - in less than an hour. So I've posted the download address above in the hope that other non-techie people will find it. * The Tobias Schwartz page also links to the Stone Steps version of Webalizer - project release notes at https://www.stonesteps.ca/projects/webalizer/releasenotes/ (up to 2015). Stone Steps Webalizer is now hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/StoneStepsInc/StoneStepsWebalizer (latest download version 6.3.0, 29/01/23). The Stone Steps stuff is as unfathomable to me as the original Webalizer 2.23-08 one was, in terms of installation/use, but I've linked it here in case of any interest/use to anyone else who reads this thread.

Appreciate the reply @kicken, however had previously downloaded the webalizer pages from the software archive at the archive site (Webalizer 2.01). Earlier I downloaded Awstats (from https://sourceforge.net/projects/awstats/files/AWStats/7.9/awstats-7.9.zip/download?use_mirror=netix ) as recommended by @gizmola (many thanks for the peripheral info btw) but neither Arachnophilia nor Notepad++ would open the README.md file, and the Windows Installer was not included in the download (ref https://awstats.sourceforge.io/docs/awstats_setup.html ). *however*. In the 'downloads' folder here I then discovered several files, downloaded (somehow) at the time of attempting the download from ftp.mrunix.net via https://webalizer.net/download.html (per link provided by @requinix). These files are: download (2.06Kb) (no idea what this is). webalizer-2.23-08-src.tgz (the file requested). webalizer-2.23-08-src (1).tgz (another copy of same). download (1) (another copy of the first one). webalizer-2.23-08-src.zip webalizer-2.23-08-src (1).zip webalizer-2.23-08-src (2).zip ... all of these must have downloaded during the three minutes of attempting the mrunix.net ftp, even though the ftp program said the connection was not made. Anyway I now have five complete sets of the latest version of Webalizer which is some way further forward from when I first asked the question, so, very much appreciate the replies so far. Next I need to extract the Webalizer files and figure out (a) where to put them [with a log file to test] and (b) how to 'call' the program to start. Any insights would be helpful, along the way.

Thank you for your reply @requinix I went to the linked page, which said "Go to the download page and get yourself a copy." ... so I went to the download page https://webalizer.net/download.html and selected Tar/Gzip archive (.tgz). It wouldn't download. I had selected my FTP program (FlashFXP) and it did try (11 times) before the connection timed out.

I have no experience of doing command-line stuff, so am hoping to find some way of installing Webalizer that uses simple ftp to upload files and some way of calling the program to run. 25 years internet experience and some ability with php/mysql, but I don't understand where the Webalizer files go (in a directory, yes, and with a log file to analyse) but *where* to put them and *how* to call them, I haven't figured out at all (yet). I have heard that the latest stable Webalizer version is 2.23 but (also) don't know where to get this from. Any help appreciated.
