I want to analyze the IIS logs for a website for things like hits, keywords, countries accessed from etc.
Has anyone used any (free) tools that were useful from this regard?
There's LogParser. Blog article about how to use it here. You need to be comfortable with SQL to use it, though. There's a GUI for it apparently, too. Don't have any experience with that, though.
Nihuo web log analyzer is very simple, easy to configure and very good in analyzing iis and apache access log files. The reports generated by this tool are also very good.
You can use it freely with full function for 30 days evaluation period.
============================================
updated: The software is developed by myself.
There is a simple answer to this don't..
Log files are next to useless to look at your website traffic, there are massively inaccurate, log file analysis is useful for network engineers looking at traffic management.
If you want to view who has looked at your website from where and with which broswer and what keyword was used to get there, just install goggle analytic although it does have a few downsides its much better for the information you require its also free.
Take a look at http://www.googlelytics.net/awstats-log-file-analysis-vs-google-analytics/ for a view of each.

I am trying to create a local exact copy of a Wiki on my Linux machine, but no matter what I try, it won't work properly in the end.
The challenge is that I have no access other than web-access to the Wiki, but it would be sufficient to have just a snapshot of the current state. I tried to use wget, but it fails to download files properly and does not convert links inside those pages.
I tried to use websucker.py but again it did not properly convert links, and since most Wiki files have no extension, I could not get my web-server (lighttpd) to serve them as text/html.
Does anyone have a working tool or can tell me what parameters to use with either wget or websucker.py to create a working clone of an existing Wiki?
Since nobody seems to know I spent a few more hours on Google and found the answer myself. I put it here if others have the same issue.
Each Wiki has an API that beside other features has a dump feature. You can use that API for a full or current dump of any Wiki. See here for a tutorial on how to use the dumpgenerator.py created by the wikiteam.
You can later import that XML dump either through the Special:import page or use the importDump.php script as explained in the Mediawiki manual.

I have an IIS webserver that is crashing occasionally. It always works just fine after restarting the AppPool. I have logging configured for the website in a standard W3C format. Looking through the logs for useful information is like sifting through vomit for a tasty treat. Are there any good tools out there for making these logs more readable? User Friendly? Useful?

The free edition is really nice.

I am about to start work on a project to reduce the bandwidth usage of a web application. We are going to implement several techniques such as delayed loading of Javascript files until they are needed to try and reduce the overhead of running the application.
The first thing I want to do is test the current state of things so we can create a baseline. Ideally we would then like to automate this testing so that we can track the network usage of the application as we make our changes.
Can anyone suggest tools which are good at doing this? At it's most basic the tool needs to be manually run but extra brownie points will be given for suggestions of how to automate the test!
Thanks in advance.
Firebug (especially the Network Tab will show you everything a page loads with times and sizes.
You might also take a look at YSlow.
I would just use the logs of IIS. It's possible to log to text files. Then you can analyze your data with this tool.
If you don't want to get fancy, you can log via ODBC to a database, and query with plain SQL.

Hi Ive been planning on doing a social network project and im wondering if there are readings on UX Design that I can read to base my site design on. Thanks.
Check out this question. My personal favorite is Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think.
You might be interested in reading specifically about how other social networking sites are reviewed.
Like when Facebook Redesigned:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/09/05/new-facebook-redesign-more-than-just-aesthetics/
Or a Twitter lead designer profile:
http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/cliff-kuang/design-innovation/design-mind-behind-twitter-hes-21
How Ning works:
http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/18321/
Definitely use as many social networking sites as possible to get inspired.
I have found Seductive Interaction Design helpful. There is a section about profile completeness and how to incorporate positive goals that compels your user to take the steps necessary towards completeness.
http://www.amazon.com/Seductive-Interaction-Design-Effective-Experiences/dp/0321725522
Other helpful sections on how to build in fun distractions and more importantly coming on too strong (and how not to!).
Hope this helps!

Would anyone like to recommend free alternative to SharePoint Portal ?
We want to create a internal portal site for Content Management with features like Permissions, History etc.
If you have windows 2003 server sharepoint services comes for free.. This is ok if you have a small team around 40 people.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb848085.aspx
DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com) is a great one. You could also check out Alfresco (www.alfresco.com)
The WhiteHouse.org site just moved its CMS to Drupal - so it's at least good enough for government work. :)
Alfresco is an open source CMS with Web Content Management that is often positioned as Open Source Alternative to SharePoint . Used by lots of enterprises all over the world (check customers list). Here is one comparison. from content management analysts.
