Which version of OpenBSD is this, & did you install Webalizer through packages, ports, or did you download this from somewhere else? This is basic information which should be provided when seeking support.

But for some reason I cannot get it to read my log file for ProFTPd.

I don't use Webalizer, but in reading through
OpenPort's description, it appears that the log file(s) need to exist before Webalizer can analyze them. You should verify for yourself that this is a correct statement.

If Webalizer does expect log files to exist
a priori (beforehand), the next step you need to take is to isolate what logging statement is giving it fits. I would suggest:
- perusing ProFTPd's log file to determine what atomic actions were taken.
- move/rename the current log file.
- restart ProFTP & perform whatever ProFTP action is necessary to generate a log message specific to a chosen action.
- run Webalizer on this log file containing this single action. Determine whether Webalizer works with this limited data set or not. If Webalizer appears to work, start again with #2 above with a different ProFTP action seen in the original log file(s).
Yes, this may be laborious work, but until you can pinpoint what the offending log message/action is, there isn't much anyone can do for you. It may be that ProFTP is writing an errant character or failing to write a necessary character, but it's in your court to figure this out.
