awstats vs webalizer

[wkc1970]

Hi,

I notice large differences between the stats represented in awstats and webalizer.

eg the bandwidth usage indicated is seriously different.

Wondering which of the two programmes is considered more reliable?

Thanks,

Darren.

Unfortunately, that's quite common between differing web log processing apps. As to the most accurate, personally, I'd say (in order of accuracy) Analog, then Webalizer, then AwStats, but advocates of each one would say theirs is best. Probably the best thing to do is to use one and stick with it so that you can use it to track trends from month to month.
