The directions themselves are rather...lacking, shall we say, in user friendliness. When I call the counter file from my web page, a la the following shows up in logs/error_log: [Mon Sep 1 18:26:14 1997] access to /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/count failed for 127.0.0.1, reason: Premature end of script headers [Mon Sep 1 18:26:14 1997] Failed to open counter dbmfile: counter/svrlog [Mon Sep 1 18:26:14 1997] Failed to open counter dbmfile: counter/dirlog [Mon Sep 1 18:26:14 1997] Failed to open counter dbmfile: counter/svrlog [Mon Sep 1 18:26:14 1997] Failed to open counter dbmfile: counter/dirlog --- One of my main concerns is these logs. I had to use "touch" to create them and nothing seems to be recorded in them. What am I doing wrong? Apache works fine otherwise... ANY thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, John Szumowski
