Hidden counter not saving hits

M

Mr. Know Nothing

I have followed the instruction at
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;229900) to insert a
counter, it seemed to work fine at the time when i inserted it, but today i
checked my hits and it has a value of zero. Now i know that there should be
some hits as even if no one else looks at my site i have looked at it from
different ip address. Does anyone have something to help me on this subject?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The hit counter in FP relies upon the updating of a file on the server and if the files does not have write permission it will not
be updated. Check your file permission on file pagename.htm.cnt -- where page name is the name of the page that the counter webbot
is on.

From what i can see there are a few places where there are permissions is
there like one master permission that overrides all other places where it can
be set? if not could you list the places to change the permissions just so
i'll know i didn't forget any?? thanks

In my ongoing search for the answer of why is my counter not working I have
not found anything that mentions permissions. I was thinking i'm getting to
the website through the ip address and port number (ie. www.example.com
points to 123.123.123.123:666) Would this make a difference? At this point I
am getting blank on what could be causing the counter not to record hits. Any
suggestions will be looked at.

The FP SE (for http) are applied to port 80 (or 8080)
- if your sample IP is correct you are using an unconventional port 666 so there are no FP SE there

Thanks you Stefan for that piece of information. When you say "FP SE are
applied to port 80 (or 8080)" are they applied to both or just one. IE can I
have my visitors coming in on a port number other then 80 and have the FP SE
work?
