Very simple to use, first the page which you would like to count must have the extension .shtml or .sht rather than .htm or .html Put the following on the page where you want the count file to appear. <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-yourdomain/counters/counter.cgi"-->
For Example if your domain is fred.com the call would be <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-fred/counters/counter.cgi"-->
That all there is to it, this will create a count file for each page the call is placed on, it will just show up as a number when looking at it from a web page. For security reasons we don’t set by default write permissions to the counter directory. To change these permissions and activate the counters run the following commands from a telnet session:
cd /home/yourloginname/www/cgi-bin/ chmod o+w counters |
