Dennis, the only part of the stats counter that needs to be apache.apache is the directory were the stats, ips and counts and archives are stored.. because the web server needs to be able to write to those directories..
everything else should just be owned by your user.. so, to to the parent dir of the directory where you put the counter files. and do this: chown -R apache.apache counter (where counter is the dir with all the stats files and dirs in it.) The most important part of installing cgi scripts is checking the error logs when it fails. so the following command might help: tail /var/log/httpd/error_log It will tell you what the problem is. Other things to check.. 1. Did you edit it on a windows machine?? if so, you will need to see if it added windows return chars, if so, you need to remove them, install dos2unix and run it on the files. 2. Did you upload as binary or ascii? perl is just text files so can't be binary. 3. as a way of improving your chances, change all the perl .pl files to 777. chmod 777 *.pl in the dir where you saved the stats counter script file. 4. some webservers are not setup for .pl perhaps you should try changing it to .cgi let me know how it goes and I will help as I may. rgds Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dennis Myers Sent: Sunday, 6 July 2003 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Hit counter for a web page.

I am doing something wrong on a basic level and not smart enough to figure it out. When you said make it owner apache.apache, what did you mean, like user=apache and group=apache? or a cli command?
