Short: WWW counter for Apache, binaries Author: Muhammad A. Muquit Uploader: albertv spinnewiel xs4all nl Type: comm/www Version: v2.3 Architecture: m68k-amigaos WWWCOUNTER 2.3 (C) 1996 by Muhammad A. Muquit Ported for the Amiga by Bert Vortman. ******* second release September 1997 ******* CHANGES ======= This is the second release of the wwwcounter by Muhammad A. Muquit. The binary distribution is recompiled with the Ixemul.library v47. Some minor changes has been made in the sources. It runs more stable now. APACHE ------ The webcounter is now installed under the APACHE: assignment, no need for the unix paths now. AWS --- It showed up that the Counter does not work with AWS, although it should work. I was not able to find the cause of the problem yet. If you find a solution, mail me! MKSTRIP, make your own Counter digits! -------------------------------------- With MKSTRIP you can make your own digits out of separated gif digit images. Or use it to convince a webmaster of a counter site to use it for you :) An example of a created digit style is added in the Digits/F directory. Mkstrip is in the Counter/utils directory. INTRODUCTION: ------------- I am running for several years the webcounter at the digital city of Delft (http://www.dsdelft.nl), a small but very old town in the Netherlands. One of the best things of the Webcounter is the configurability. You can decide how it looks, with or without a border, different colours, different styles, custom made digits, etc. The Webcounter is also able to display the time and the current date. When I got involved in the Amiga Apache httpserver project (http://www.dsdelft.nl/~apache) I immediately thought about porting the Counter to the Amiga. So, I got the sources and started compiling. To my surprise it compiled almost without faults (this shows the strenght of the Ixemul.library!). I am running it now for several months without too many problems. After compiling it with Ixemul 47 everything worked more stable than before. Requirements: ------------- - ixemul.library v47 from http://www.ninemoons.com - fileutils-3.15.lha from http://www.ninemoons.com - static IP address. It is impossible to use it with a dynamic connection. - Apache httpd from www.dsdelft.nl/~apache Questions: ---------- For questions about the Amiga Port: albertv@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl Distribution: ------------- This is the binary archive, the wwwcounter2.3 is pre-installed! I have made a source distribution also, but that has one drawback, you must compile it yourself with GCC. It's not too difficult to do, just follow the instructions in the AMIGA INSTALL file. But if you don't have GCC and/or don't want to install GCC, then you have to use this binary distribution. You have the follow the instructions in the Amiga install file precisely, especially the provided paths are important. Do not change them! (They are compiled into the binary). If the provided paths are not what you want, ask me for a custom made GCC compilation. You can decide in which directory you want to have the counter. A fee is asked in that case ($20 US dollars) to cover for my time. This includes shipment (on disk or via e-mail) and additional help if you need it. E-mail me for more information: counter@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl (though I don't think that anyone will ever need it, read the docs carefully).
