Installation instructions

Please read our installation instructions to install the php textfile counter without any problems.

Step 1:

Extract that text_counter.zip file and copy the files counter.php, counter.txt and counter.gif to your webspace. You can copy these files to your homedir, but you can copy these files into a subdir (for example /counter/) as well. Get sure, that all these files are in the same folder.

Step 2:

Open the counter.php in your editor of choice for editing the counter settings.

Set the absolut path containing your counter (??? Look at our FAQ)
Set the http path containing the counter.php (??? Look at our FAQ)
Set IP-Lock in seconds (??? Look at our FAQ)

Step 3:

Set the file permissions

counter.php to 755
counter.txt to 777(??? Look at our FAQ)

Step 4:

Just add an <? include "counter.php"; ?> to the place in your web document (needs to be a .php file, the faq contains instructions how to include the counter into an html document), where you like to have the counter shown.

When the counter is inside a folder than add the folder into the include <? include "counter/counter.php"; ?>. When your website is running with a lot of folders (in different levels), it would be best to use an absolute path <? include "/applications/wamp/htdocs/your-domain.com/counter.php"; ?> (the absolute path is different from server to server, have a look to our faq about absolute paths) to prevent problems.

Step 5:

Save everything. Reload the site and enjoy of your new counter. When you have any problems or got error message pleale look again the installation guidance and look into the faq before you use my support. (When this does not help you, I will help you!)
