The Internet Services Manager tool in Windows is used to administer Virtual Web Servers on
the physical server. Here you can find out the IP address, port number and other information
about Virtual Web Servers. To run Internet Services Manager, click the Start button, then
Settings – Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Internet Services Manager.
The SurfStatsLive Reporting Service uses site profiles to identify where log files are located,
what to extract from the log files, what logo to use etc. A site profile also has a name and
password associated with it. Site profiles are grouped together in profile groups. Each profile
group has a profile administrator (or group administrator) that creates and maintains profiles
in the group. A profile group is normally associated with a virtual web server.
Three types of logical configurations exists, although it is nowhere explicitly specified during
installation of SurfStatsLive or thereafter. A specific installation can be a combination of one or
more configurations:
(1) Single Server – SurfStatsLive running on the web server from which it collects log files.
(2) Multi Server – SurfStatsLive collects log files from web server on which it runs and other
log files from other physical web servers.
(3) Statistics Bureau – SurfStatsLive has no access to content web server’s log files. JavaScript
code generates hits on local Virtual Web Server’s logs, which SurfStatsLive then processes.
There are three types of users in the SurfStatsLive product:
(1) Server Administrators will administer the SurfStatsLive Reporting Service globally and
assign users the right to be Profile Administrators. Server Administrators can also administer
site profiles.
(2) Profile Administrators set up site profiles for one or more profile groups. A profile group is
normally associated with a virtual web server. The role of profile administrator was introduced
to make analysis of log files possible where a site host allows sub-hosting.
(3) SurfStatsLive users (also called end users) log into the SurfStatsLive Reporting Service to
view web activity reports. An end user logs into the SurfStatsLive Reporting Service to view
reports using a site profile name and password.
The three user types log in through a web browser from the same login screen.
In addition to the different help systems, the Global Setup Application (used to configure
elements of the SurfStatsLive Service that cannot be done from the Server Administration web
interface) is available in the SurfStatsLive program group on the server computer after
installation.
