hidden hit counter

[Skel]

I want to track how many people are hitting a site I'm working on, but I don't want to have a hit counter sitting on the page, is there any way to do that might just update a file that I can download and look at when I want to??

What kind of server is it running on?

I'm not sure what server it's running on, it's hosted with Dixsys, and I've been using frontpage2002 to do up the uploading and editing..

If you can use perl, you can write a real simple scripts that updates a file everytime it's hit. Then, you can just open that .txt file and see what number you're on. If you need help on the perl script, I could probably lend a hand. Real short, just open the file with a lock, update the count, and close and unlock.

cq counter

i can't recall the site, but use their crap and make it 1x1 px as mentioned above.

or with your host many times they have stats built in. So. . .

www.yourdomain.com/stats for example

From the dixiesys forums.

If you're using dixiesys and have any questions their forums are very good.

Dont use hit counters, they suck. If you want to see how much traffic your site is getting, get a good apache log analyzer.
