WWWCOUNTER 2.3 (C) 1996 by Muhammad A. Muquit Ported for the Amiga by Bert Vortman. **** SOURCE DISTRIBUTION **** >>>> second release September 1997 <<<< Introduction: ------------- I have installed the wwwcounter2.3, made by Muhammed A.Muquit, at the Digital City of Delft for quite some time now and it works perfectly (http://www.dsdelft.nl, a dutch site). One of the nicest things is the configurability of the wwwcounter. You can decide how it looks, who can and who can not make use of the counter, add as much custom made digits as you want, etc. In one word: a perfect counter program for a server! Well, it has all kind of nice options like displaying date and time, colour of the counter and it can put a nice border around your pictures too. Too much to say in a few words. But it had one drawback: it only runned on WindowsNT, OS2 and Unix computers. But since some clever Amiga owners developed the Ixemul.library, it became possible to port UNIX programs to the Amiga. Since I had the sources at the DSD (Digitale Stad (city) Delft) somewhere around, I could not resist the temptation to compile it on my Amiga. It was easier than I thought with the help of GCC and Ixemul.library. Only one small change in the main.c source, but that was basically it. So, now every Amiga-server on the internet/intranet can run the wwwcounter too. I am using the counter with the Apache Webserver for several months now without problems. However, some errors could show up, mail me when it happens to you: albertv@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl AWS --- I stated before that the counter should work with AWS. Well, It should, but it does not. I don't know yet what causes the problem, but I hope to find the problem. If you are able to find a solution, feel free to adjust the sources, just mail me about what you did so I can include it in the archive. COMPILING --------- If you find some errors in the webcounter and you solve them yourself, send me a mail about the solutions you found so that I can include them in the archive. Feel free to experiment! Requirements: ------------- - ixemul.library v47 from http://www.ninemoons.com - 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 and bug-reports: 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 which runs under the APACHE: directory tree. Only the assignment to APACHE: is nessecary. Copyright: ---------- Copyright 1995-1996 by Muhammad A Muquit.
