The php counter is ready the install is really simple and there is a complete
statistic page...

I will pack this and send to you in a couple of minute,
are you ready for a chat session on this forum ?

I sure am ready for a chat function...get right on that, will you please?

hehehehe

To answer your questions in your email, nope, there's just a data.txt file in the counter folder on
the website--no other text files. And I don't think it's a permission thing, because the permissions
are wide open.

I'm thinking it's probably something to do with how the html file is "calling" the script in terms of
the specified path. Should it be "/counter/cpt.php", or "../counter/cpt.php",
or "http://www.apfa.ca/counter/cpt.php"? I tried the last one...with the full path...and it still didn't
work. Remember the other night, you put that weird slash combination in and it all suddenly
worked? Pouf?

Any other ideas?

Oh....just got your next email...hang on.....

The permissions on all the folders on the website is set to rwxrw-rw- . Is that a bad thing? Do I
have to call my webhost and tell them to change the permissions just on the "counter" folder to
rwxrwxrwx?

DanSteph · Reply #4 - 01 April 2003, 22:02:06

your ftp prog isn't able to change it ?

DanSteph · Reply #5 - 01 April 2003, 22:02:31

I have cute ftp and I can change the right over the folder which one do you use ?

canadave · Reply #6 - 01 April 2003, 22:04:44

Check your email now for the info....

DanSteph · Reply #7 - 01 April 2003, 22:05:41

Just tried launching the script from here it's a permission problem
here the result:

"fopen("temp.txt", "w+") - Permission denied in /counter/
VÃ©rifiez que le dossier est bien en CHMOD 777"

DanSteph · Reply #8 - 01 April 2003, 22:06:33

ok I check mail...

wait

canadave · Reply #9 - 01 April 2003, 22:07:18

You can try doing a CHMOD 777 from your CuteFTP, but as far as I know, it's just that you can't
change permissions remotely on a Windows webserver, only on a UNIX server.

canadave · Reply #10 - 01 April 2003, 22:07:35

ok....waiting

DanSteph · Reply #11 - 01 April 2003, 22:08:56

Ok In cute-ftp program I can change the permission wich one do you use ?
(right click on the folder)

(I'm at work so I have no ftp access... only in 1/2 hour when I come back to home)

DanSteph · Reply #12 - 01 April 2003, 22:10:09

but I must say I never tried on a window server anyway I would find really strange that you
don't have access over your folder's right !??

canadave · Reply #13 - 01 April 2003, 22:11:40

Which FTP program do I use? WSFTP Pro...and I don't see any way to chmod from here...it's got a
chmod command in wsftp pro, but it says (unix only) next to it, and I'm not on a UNIX box

canadave · Reply #14 - 01 April 2003, 22:12:58

OHHHHH....you never tried on a Windows server, have you???? :P Yes, then that would explain it.

I can call my webhost and try to have them change the directory permissions for me. I could also
call them and ask them to put my website on a UNIX box rather than Windows. Any reason I
shouldn't? I can use FTP normally with that, right?

DanSteph · Reply #15 - 01 April 2003, 22:12:34

Ok I will try at home but only in about 45 mn (time to pack my work's stuff and to do 25km in car)
you'll be around ?

canadave · Reply #16 - 01 April 2003, 22:15:16

I will probably be around, yes

But I don't think it'll work....I'll download CuteFTP myself and try
changing the permissions with that, but I think it's just that I'm on a Windows server. I'll let you
know...go home, have a life!

DanSteph · Reply #17 - 01 April 2003, 22:15:25

window or unix I would find really strange that user doesn't have the right
but I think this could be configured by the provider's (if you have access or not ?)

OK I hurry to home and will be back in 45 mn

hold on

DanSteph · Reply #18 - 01 April 2003, 22:16:56

(but if windows server don't allow that , it suck man !

cya in 44 mn

DanSteph · Reply #19 - 01 April 2003, 23:09:18

POUF

it work , how did you do ?

DanSteph · Reply #20 - 01 April 2003, 23:31:13

I see you on-line with the stat

Dan

Dave Klein · Reply #21 - 01 April 2003, 23:32:31

It doesn't QUITE work

not quite a pouf!

The visible counter doesn't seem to increment. To answer your question, I didn't do a thing to the
script or the directories; I don't think he did either. Let me delete the temp directories and see....

canadave · Reply #22 - 01 April 2003, 23:35:42

OK, I deleted all the stuff within the "counter" directory on the webserver, then re-uploaded the
counter directory contents as you emailed them to me. When I click "Refresh", the
counter......doesn't...........increment...............................wait a minute. Your script only counts
UNIQUE visitors, yes?

DanSteph · Reply #23 - 01 April 2003, 23:36:01

SURE

DanSteph · Reply #24 - 01 April 2003, 23:36:32

if you delete the IP in the IPlog.txt you will be counted again
