Traxis noticings...

mistakes I made that may help others...

I've just got Traxis up and running. Great program!! Thanks a ton Brett.
I ran into a couple hitches as I was installing, and I thought I would pass on my mistakes just in case others ran into similar problems.
My problem was primarily with traxis-counter.cgi.
Chances are you will have to edit the lines:
$traxis_dir ="/www/yoursite/cgi-bin/traxis/"; #where is traxis located (the current directory is default)

$data_path= "/www/yoursite/cgi-bin/traxis/";

The data_path is probably going to be: "/www/yoursite/cgi-bin/traxis/data/";

That was my mistake, when I changed the path I forgot to add the trailing slash. So consequently I wasn't logging in the correct path. It was dumping my logs in the main cgi-bin/traxis folder and then saying that my most recent record was from 1964.

I also had difficulty pulling the images up in the reports Traxis created. For some reason, and it may have just been my server, the images weren't being pulled up when I put them 2 folders deep from my root directory: traxis/images. I don't know why that was but when I dumped the images in the traxis folder they all worked well.

Now I'm off to try this on a remote site. I'll let you know if I run into any glitches there.

Thanks for an awesome script.

Thanks Sage.

Before you do images, you probably should read, this thread:

Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't had the opportunity to really delve into the limitations of the image call on a remote server. I know there are threads about it. But I haven't read all of them yet.

It looks like I'm not pulling SE referrers from that call. Is that correct? I'll keep reading about it when I get a few...

But man, using the SSI is SO awesome. It has every thing I could think of needing.

I'll keep reading...
