Installation

To install the WWW Count 2.5, telnet to your Virtual Server and do the following:

1. Untar the WWW Count 2.5 tar file located in the /usr/local/contrib area.

     % cd    (this will put you in your home directory)
     % tar -xvf /usr/local/contrib/wwwcount2.5.tar

2. Now that the WWW Count 2.5 is installed, you will have to change its configuration for your Virtual Server. This is done by editing the "count.cfg" file which is located in your ~/usr/local/etc/Counter/conf area. You will need to substitute the occurrence of DOMAIN.COM in this file to be your domain, and the occurrence of IP_ADDRESS to be the IP address of your virtual server. The pertinent parts of the "count.cfg" file are shown below.

   # Ignore count block, you might want to ignore the local sites.          
   # If you do not want to ignore any hosts from                            
   # counting, just put { on one line and } on the next line but make sure  
   # the braces exist!

3. The WWW Count 2.5 cgi has already been compiled for your use. All that you need to do is create a test page with the appropriate HTML source and try it out. Examples of HTML source that can be used are given below:

   <img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?dd=B|frgb=69;139;116&df=home.dat" align=absmiddle>
   <img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?frgb=69;139;116&display=clock" align=absmiddle>
   

   This will create the following counters:
