RE: visit counters -- WEB400

This isn't quite the answer... But with awstats, it appears like you can go
through just about any type of log. Unfortunately, it is written in perl.
But if you copied that file to a *nix box and then ran the awstats... You
can get a good log analyzer. If you want to see a sample of the output check
here: http://www.koldark.net/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=koldark.net

Jim,

Since you're asking this question on WEB400, I assume you're running your
site on an iSeries (either Apache based or Classic).  An easy way to do it
is to turn on server logging.  Then use a program like UltraEdit that will
count the occurrences of a string (in this case, the address of the page) to
view your log files.

Unfortunately, the log files (at least the classic log files) are not in a
very friendly format for doing any serious analysis, so we wrote a Net.Data
macro that writes HTTP request info to a physical file, and we do an SSI
exec cgi include with it on every page for static pages.  For our dynamic
Net.Data stuff, we just call a function.

Jim,

Yes - there are many options available, depending on how your static page is
designed.


One example follows:sorry, frontpage code:

<p align="right">You are visitor number <!--webbot bot="HitCounter"
u-custom
i-digits="0" i-image="0" preview="&lt;strong&gt;[Hit
Counter]&lt;/strong&gt;" i-resetvalue="10500" startspan --><img
SRC="_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/?Page=Default.htm|Image=0" ALT="Hit
Counter"><!--webbot bot="HitCounter" endspan i-checksum="5865" --></p>


Another way to do this involves using web based counters, basically you
embedd the code into your static web page, the site will show you how, and
advise you in most cases for a link to their site or their sponsors site.  I
do not have any available right now, but search the web for "hit counts/hit
counters" or the such, some are free, some are pay.

You could also write your own cgi script on the server (most servers will
support this) regardless of the language (ms, linux, unix, os/400, or even
mac)

Is there a way to count visitors on a static page (html only)?
Management wants to know.
