Counter problem

[Thegolden1]

I tried inserting the pre-install cgi counter script on my site, after copying and pasting the counter html code. I still cant get the counter and when i preview it, i get a message like this;

"counter datafile '/var/cpanel/counters/my%20counter.dat' must be created in cpanel first!"

i dont know what the problem is. Any help will be appriciated.

That looks like a file that is supposed to be created by the cpanel and only djbob can fix it. You can make your own counters with php or cgi/perl. Just do a google search for counter scripts.

I just made a counter and it seems to be working ok. Try to make another counter for your site and give it a name without a space in it. I think you named yours "my counter" and the cpanel tried to create a data file with %20 in the name (my%20counter.dat) and it can't create a file with %20. Name it "mycounter" and copy the new code and see if it works.

 

Here's my test page.
