| not familiar with this mod, but it sounds like there should be a file named sitestat.txt present. maybe you need to manually create this file before it can update it. |

i got the site stat forum counter (site statistic) mod at http://www.snitzbitz.com/mods/default.asp
according to the snitzbitz, snitz is the support site. Oh well
I tried what you suggested but for some reason its not finding the file. the example was looking
for a virtual path ie.. c:\wwwroot\sitestat.txt and its not excepting my path /data/sitestat.txt
not matter what way I put it.
I have some ASP knowledge(very little) and I can not find anything wrong with the.
Oh well, I must be missing something.
thanks |
Thanks,
Howard

if the path in the file is c:\wwwroot\sitestat.txt then that is not a virtual path. you are trying to point to /data/sitestat.txt so you would need to add a Server.MapPath
Server.MapPath("data\sitestat.txt")
What is your actual absolute path to this file on your server? |

Dayve, I alwalys get virtual/absolute confused. if i were to use server.mapPath("data\sitestat.txt") would be the path. I am not sure if www/data/sitestat is absolute or not. but I dont see how server.mapPath can be used in the following code, because it should never get past the first if, becasue i checked use DB, so the value should = 1 and end;
If Request.Form("strCounterDB")="0" then
'We check if the file exists in the path specified
set fso = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(Request.Form("strCounterTxtPath")) then
Else
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>The Path you have specified for the storage place, does not include the file!</li>"
End If
set file = nothing: set fso = nothing
here is the code for radio button:
<tr valign=""middle"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""right""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>Use Snitz Database:</b> <br>If Off a TXT file will be used </font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" On:<input type=""radio"" class=""radio"" name=""strCounterDB"" value=""1""" & chkRadio(strCounterDB,0,false) & "> " & vbNewLine & _
" Off:<input type=""radio"" class=""radio"" name=""strCounterDB"" value=""0""" & chkRadio(strCounterDB,0,true) & ">" & vbNewLine & _
" </td>" & vbNewLine & _
'We check if the Attribute of the file is Read
set fso = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(Request.Form("strCounterTxtPath")) then
set file = fso.GetFile(Request.Form("strCounterTxtPath"))
FileAttrinute = file.Attributes
set file = nothing: set fso = nothing
If FileAttribute = 1 then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>The Path you have specified for the storage place has the file property Read,<br> " &_
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "It needs to be Read & Write!!</li>"
End If
End If
End If
If Not Right(Request.Form("strCounterTxtPath"),12)="sitestat.txt" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>The Filename has to be sitestat.txt</li>"
End if
thanks for your help

Absolute Path is the actual file path to your document. For example:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\data\somefile.txt
Virtual Path is a reference to a directory relative to your parent directory. For example, if your website was in a directory called mysite with a data directory below that, the virtual path would be:
/mysite/data/somefile.txt
quickly looking at the code you posted, it appears that the path is being passed through a form request. since I am not familiar with this mod, I can't help very much without seeing all the files (please don't post all the files here!). I may download this mod just to look at it briefly. |

| If you are using the database instead for a textfile, you should not specify any path at all. Try again but leave out the path to the textfile in the form. |

thanks masterao,
when i did that, it brought to the admin logon screen and after i logged on it, returned me to the site statistic admin screen with all the default values. I thought i was just going in circles. after reading your post, i decided to go to the main forum page and i now received the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'
Invalid procedure call or argument
/forum/inc_sitestat.asp, line 367
set fso = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set file = fso.OpenTextFile(strCounterTxtPath,1,true) <--------------------- 367
lines = split(file.readall(), vbCrLf)
file.close: set file = nothing: set fso = nothing
thanks again

| Can you change the sitestat config at all, or are you always redirected to the admin logon screen when you leave the path empty? Also, what is the default value for using db, yes or no? |

Sorry...
Also, I had to turn off the txt file option, but still put the name "sitestat.txt" in that box.
Cheers,
