Website Tracking and Email Servers

[naxos]

Hey all, yet another server question....i got my forums up with some resistance from mysql, but they are up, YAY! So pretty much im trying to learn as much server-side stuff as i can....because...well....its intresting and fun. So next i wanted to see what kind of website tracking programs are out there, so i could see ip address, hits, times, what pages were visited...etc.

Also i wanted to add a pop3 mail server and smtp outgoing to my server. Any suggestions for good open source proggie? Thanks for all your help :)

Is this NT based?

I like AwStats (sourceforge). Its probably one of the most accurate. Analog isnt bad either.

If you need SMTP, just install SMTP service through Windows Networking.

Its actually on XPHome so i dont think it has a mail server (does it?)


any other server suggestions?

[notoriousformula]

nope there is no SMTP service or IIS in windows XP Home.. but you can always install it :)

1) locate and edit the file C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF

(2) locate a section called [Components]

(3) find a line like this:
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7

(4) change it to this (the iis cab in the i386 xp home folder looks to
be nothing)
iis=iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7

(some sort of ms caching thing keeps sticking back iis.dll when I try
to nuke it. quickly renaming and making hidden dir called iis.dll
seems to thwart, but not worth it, so iis2.dll is good enough)

(5) I grabbed the iis.dl_ and iis.in_ from win2k advanced server cd.

I would guess similar techniques would work from W98, FP, etc.
Use "EXPAND IIS.DL_ IIS2.DLL" from a command prompt
Same for IIS2.INF, place IIS2.INF in C:\WINDOWS\INF and IIS2.DLL in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SETUP

(6) Now when I did "add windows programs" from the control panel's add
new programs,

I had IIS options and I could even check em off. yippee - could not
check em off from my xppro cd :(

I just went with the defaulted ones though (all i needed was iis web
server)

(7) It will prompt you for files. Get em from MS XP Home CDs, Adv
Server CDs, C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\INETSRV, C:\WINDOWS\I386, etc. (It will
tell you the file it needs, you just need to have a searcher going,
probably the CDs will have all you need)

(8) You can get to your IIS from Control Panel's Administrative
Programs.
I stuck in an index.html file and reconfigure IIS to work like this.
No go :(
I right clicked on my inetpub folder and did something with shared
folders. No go :(
I looked at the event viewer and saw the error of my ways.
Go to IIS and goto Directory Security tab and click Edit button and
Browse for the user setup on my laptop.

(9) Yippee, hello world from http://localhost


IIS also includes the SMTP service to allow the computer to act as an SMTP server. The SMTP service accepts incoming connections as well as outgoing connections, but it is intended more as an SMTP relay service than a full-blown e-mail server. The service doesn’t provide mailboxes but does support a drop folder for incoming messages not forwarded to another server.

[naxos]

thanks notor....but on first try i couldnt get it....but my sys file seems to be in the i386 folder, not the win/inf dir (infact that doesnt exist for me) so...i dont know if that might make a difference..
