Profile

You need to create a new profile in the program and specify the following settings:

Domain is your domain name that looks like www.domain.com

Index file is a file that is displayed when a directory is requested directly like http://www.domain.com/dir/

  
  Log Path

You can either download log files manually and then analyze them with the program (supported by all program editions) or setup WebLog Expert to download log files automatically (requires the Standard or Professional edition).

  
  Manual Download

First, files need to be downloaded to your computer. You can go to the control panel at Yahoo or visit http://www.domain.com/logs/ directly (where www.domain.com is your domain). You will see a list of several log files. Right-click each log name and choose the "Save Target As..." command from the popup menu, then navigate to a folder where that file should be saved.

When you create a new profile in the program you need to specify log file name - path to a log file on your computer. If you wish to analyze multiple log files at once you can specify wildcard like c:\Logs\*.log (depending on where the downloaded log files are located) instead of the log file name.

  Automatic Download

If you use WebLog Expert Standard/Professional you can specify the following settings on the Log Files page of the Profile Properties dialog:

Log location: FTP
File path: logs/access*.log
FTP server: ftp.yourdomain.com
Port: 21
Username: your username
Password: your password

In this case the program will automatically download and analyze all the available logs when you click Analyze in the program.

You can find information on the required username and password at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gftp/gftp-09.html
