counter

ok, i'm stumped. the answer must be simple, but i just can't figure it out. currently, when I load a page (test.html) with this script, all i see is the word :

counter

i have double and triple checked my permissions. this is the script exactly as it is on test.html:

the demo page just loads to a blank page.

Any help would be very much appreciated. I feel really silly after having no trouble with the guestbook. I did read and reread the sticky posts over and over trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.

The path you have supplied must be wrong as it sounds like you are seeing the alt text.

check that [b]src="counter.php?page=test.html&digit=classic"[/b] is correct

In fact use the full url for it.

When I used the file extension, it wouldn't work... but then my page has a .php extension. You could try:
[list] [/list]
or try changing test.html to test.php.

If you are using the flat file method, write permissions need changing for the pages directory and the count.txt file.

thank you both for your suggestions.

first, i checked permissions (again)
-pages 777 (drwxrwxrwx) (directory)

-count.txt 666 (-rw-rw-rw)

next, i checked the path again

in my folder that dishes out my webpages i have folders: digits doc pages and the files: config.inc.php and counter.php. since i run an apache server, i have these 3 folders and 2 files in the html folder (that serves the rest of my pages and lazarus guestbook with no problem.

i tried taking off the tag...changing the page to php...adding php...i repeatedly just get the counter msg.

i tried:

(changed the name of the test page for this)

i tried about 10 other variations of this, including my original setup of having all the counter files in a folder named "counter". out of simplicity, i finally just moved the files and folders down to /html for testing. if you have any other suggestions, i'm all game. i still can't believe i haven't figured this out. i'm just too stubborn to give up...even on a little counter

Why don't you post your page info, or if you prefer, you can email it to me. Or maybe pm ET for help.
