Yes, FreeBSD has WWWCount as a package and a port. I would suggest that you
install the port. That way you are dealing with a know configuration. I
have WWWCount installed on my home machine. The setup is a little tricky so
I'll walk you through it . You are better off downloading a port from
www.freebsd.org or pulling a copy out of the ports tarball on the CD.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=wwwcount&style=all
click on download or in a scratch directory
tar xvzf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz ports/www/wwwcount
cd to the directory with the Makefile and, as root, type make.
After the make is finished the makefile will ask some questions. Answer the
questions and don't work you can always either remake the program, edit the
config file or rerun the config script. Do a make install. The program
installs under /usr/local. The following is listing of the files as
installed.
./etc/Counter
./etc/Counter/conf
./etc/Counter/conf/count.cfg <-- The config file
./etc/Counter/data
./etc/Counter/data/RealHits <-- A data file
./etc/Counter/data/sample.dat
./lib/Counter
./lib/Counter/digits
./lib/Counter/digits/A
./lib/Counter/digits/A/strip.gif
./lib/Counter/digits/B
./lib/Counter/digits/B/strip.gif
./lib/Counter/digits/C
./lib/Counter/digits/C/strip.gif
./lib/Counter/digits/D
./lib/Counter/digits/D/strip.gif
./lib/Counter/digits/D/lenna.gif
./lib/Counter/digits/E
./lib/Counter/digits/E/strip.gif
./lib/Counter/digits/mkstrip.sh
./lib/Counter/rgb.txt
./www/cgi-bin/Count.cgi <-- The program
My web page uses the following cgi call
<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?dd=A|df=RealHits|incr=f|md=6|pad=t"
HEIGHT=32 WIDTH=102>
wwwcount is sorta fussy about permisions. I have my data files as 0666 and
the data directory as 0777.
You should also set have ScriptAlias in /usr/local/etc/apache/srm.conf set
as follows:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/local/www/cgi-bin
Hope this helps
Josef
