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, so I suggest you do the same. 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 - Complete GCC installation 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 See the Amiga Install file for instructions on installing the wwwcounter. And don't forget to read the documents in the docs directory for additional information. Questions: ---------- For questions about the Amiga Port: albertv@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl Distribution: ------------- This is the source archive, you have to install the wwwcounter2.3 yourself! I have made a binary distribution also, but that has one drawback, you must install it in the directory where I am using it AND you can not choose where the cgi-bin directory of your server is. However it is compiled under the APACHE: assignment, so you should have no problems there. But feel free to recompile it and make changes if you feel need for it. If you do, let me know so that I can include it in the official releases.
