Tracking Page Views on the Server? Urchin? AWStats?

What are people out there using for site tracking? Sitepoint had a good article about 10 different tools:

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/03/26/10-web-analytics-packages-for-tracking-your-visitors/

AWStats, Webalizer, etc... basically, I’m wanting something on my webserver (not javascript) that can give me details about page views , referrers, etc. and act as a cross reference to our existing Google Analytics.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Everett,

see my blog post herehttp://www.breakthroughecommerce.com/library/ecommerce/ten-free-online-marketing-tools/ on various free and cheap options for site tracking and other useful tools.

Scroll down till you get to point 4.

Includes links etc to services like piwik, quantcast, webceo, BT Buckets and more.

hi there,

...and there’s even a MODx plugin/module for Piwik -> http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=32891.0

Wow. Nice. I also discovered that my Webmin installation has lots of options for extra modules (namely AWStats and Webalizer), although AWStats seems far more difficult to install... sigh... that seems to be the case with so many Perl apps. I coded Perl full-time for 2 years and I still feel that fear when I use it... that fear like I used to have in shop class with the power tools.
