With the beta statistics script installed, I get the below error messages in my log as it runns:

Answer

This sounds like a bug, follow up in Codev.BetaStatisticsErrorMessages.

-- PeterThoeny - 13 Aug 2002

Now fixed in CVS, try the latest version at CVS:bin/statistics. Tested on the dud logfile lines provided in Codev.BetaStatisticsErrorMessages. Note that the real problem here is that the webname is invalid, causing the regex to fail - however, invalid topics, users and webnames should now all be caught by the statistics script.

(Someone is editing the Codev topic, feel free to move this comment over there - just didn't want to forget to comment...)
