Author’s Note: While most of this piece discusses configuration options for any operating system Apache supports, some of the content will be Unix/Linux (*nix) specific, which now includes Macintosh OS X and its underlying Unix kernel.
One of the many pieces of the Website puzzle is Web logs. Traffic analysis is central to most Websites, and the key to getting the most out of your traffic analysis revolves around how you configure your Web logs. Apache is one of the most — if not the most — powerful open source solutions for Website operations. You will find that Apache’s Web logging features are flexible for the single Website or for managing numerous domains requiring Web log analysis.

I always get a bit nervous when I start talking about the less testable theories of marketing. I call this “touchy-feely” marketing. I’m a real “show me” kind of person, and I will rarely make a statement about marketing without having tested a theory on real products I’m selling myself.
This is one exception. It would be quite difficult to test some of the ideas I’m about to put forth here. Nonetheless, it’s an important concept that will change the way you think about your web promotion efforts.

Introduction
Tar and Gzip are command line utilities usually associated with Unix systems, so why would you want to backup the data on your Windows machine with these tools.
Well there are several reasons why you might want to choose a command line utility as part of your backup strategy, the first being that you don’t need to install a Windows program onto a new machine to restore your files. You can simply insert your CD-ROM containing your latest backup (and a copy of the command line utilities) and restore the files you need in a matter of seconds.
