Details about installing a counter and the .htaccess file

Details
Example: Counting hits to myfile.htm in myfol folder. The #exec line below is added to myfile.htm. This will display the hits on the page. Upload myfile.count and .htaccess as unix type for unix servers.
  • myfile.count in myfol folder
  • chmod myfile.count to 644
  • <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/c4.pl"--> in myfile.htm
  • cgi-bin is root/cgi-bin
  • .htaccess in root
  • c4.pl and lock.pl in cgi-bin
  • chmod c4.pl and lock.pl to 755
Invisible counter, set color to background color, e.g:-

<FONT COLOR="#041D60"><!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/c4.pl"--></FONT>

Use this for counter in a table:-

<CENTER>
<TABLE BORDER="1" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="2">
<TR>
<TD BGCOLOR="#FFF3E9">
<FONT SIZE="1">
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/c4.pl"--> since 16 July 1999
</FONT></TD>
</TR></TABLE><BR>
</CENTER>

Website Counter - This is the counter for your homepage.

Your server company may not allow you to use cgi-scripts, especially if it is free webspace. In this case you can't have a counter.

.htaccess file
The .htaccess file should be here in root.
For our server this has to be as so:-
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .pl
