access_log permissions

[spookie]

Hello,

I have webstat installed on my server as a data analyzer.
now the web site has shifted from non secure to secure server and thus the dir which stores the logs also has changed..(btw can it be kept same?...)
the webstat somehow doesnt work on secure site.so for log analyzer i think i have to shift log from the new file (log file of secure server) to the log file of non secure server so that webstat will automatically work for the secure server log..but the permission for access_log is 644 so a script cannot write into it..
can we change the permission (my web admin says no but i want to confirm) so that the log can be transfered to the access_log file?wht r the security issues?

Thanks in advance for ur thoughts

You should be able to create a directory for your reports. Then just tell your analyzer where your logs are. That way, all the analyzer needs is read permission to the access_log.
