Counter Question Problems with cgi counter

Exdeath · August 14th, 2003, 2:15 PM

Hello, when I put a counter up on my page, when I load the page it says "Could not write to counter file:/var/cpanel/Counters etc" where the counter is. Does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem is?

I have the exact same problem. I've tried fiddling with the img src to put in /home/ and that sort of thing (since its on a subdomain) but I still can't get it to work. Help!

Instead of using the useless counter install in C Panel, just use this tag:

<IMG SRC="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=yourdomain.com-index.html&DD=E&RELOAD=N" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" BORDER="0">

If you want your counter to show all refresh/reloads, take the "RELOAD=N" out of the script. If you want a different border or size, just change the "DD=E" to whatever style you like. You can use the C Panel counter preview to determine the styles etc. You can add counters to any pages on your site that you wish by subsituting the "index.html" with the page name such as "links.html etc.

You don't have to upload anything to your site, you are still using the counter script that C Panel provides but you have more control. The only thing I haven't yet figured out is how to change the count on an individual counter.

Here's a LINK to more info about how the script works. It's been around for a long time.
