I have just completed moving our company's websites locally and I am setting up AWStats to track the websites' statistics. It is a very good free software and I introduced this application to a client where I previously worked and they used it to track the traffic going to their website and used the data to get people to advertise on their site.

In order to run this on a Windows server, you have to install ActivePerl. AWStats is written in Perl. The log files that you want to use in AWStats will have to be compliant to the format it requires. You can change what you want to log through the IIS snap-in. Details are found in the installation guide on the AWStats website.

While googling, I came across an installation document provided by Ihsen Consulting which I found useful. You can download the document from http://www.ihsen.com/support/InstallingAWStatsOnIIS6.pdf
