These pages are analyses of the Physics Department's web server access logs. The logs are analyzed quarterly; also included is an analysis of the January 1998 logs, for reference and perspective.
We launched a new version of the JRM web site in October of 2008; in January 2007, we completely remodeled the Physics web site. On 15 August 2005, all of our web sites moved to a single IIS server. Prior to that, we hosted sites on two different servers; the main Physics site and the bulk of the JRM pages were hosted on our original Unix/Apache platform, while the PERG, Pathway and some auxilary JRM pages are hosted by Windows/IIS.

The analyses include the most requested/visited pages, traffic volume by day, week and month, visitor profiles by origin and traffic, etc. The analyses are mostly done using Analog, an excellent free program. Some of the earliest logs have been done with various different tools, so don't be surprised by the varied presentation formats. The JRM logs have been analyzed in their entirety, with all visits from all hosts included, and they have been analyzed for only visits originating outside of KSU. This allows us to separate out the pages of internal interest versus those of interest to outside users. The Pathway physics education site moved to a new server and its own dedicated domain name in the spring of 2011. As such, no further logs will be maintained here for that site. |
