Hi,

I want to start moving my site www.machawasi.com from ReliableSite.net to JodoHost today. As part of the preparation for that I want to know how I can programmatically access the statistics to update the Hit Counter on the home page. Do you have code examples for this?

Thanks,

P.S. This will be for a Windows based account.

if it is using a txt file, access db, or other DB to gnerate this, then yes. It depends on how it is powered, frontpage counter should also allow you to set a starting point so it doesn’t reset and start from 0.

Hi Stephen,

I forgot to mention I am programming in ASP.Net 1.1 (VB.Net). ReliableSite uses SmarterStats for which there is a Web Service to hook into to update the Hit Counter you see on my Home Page.

How do I achieve the same with Webalizer or AwStats?

Thanks, Michael

We don’t provide SmarterStats, but there are many asp.net hit counters you could easily insert with minimal hassle.

Hi Stephen,

Can this information be extracted programmatically from Webalizer or AwStats?

Thanks, Michael

P.S. On your signup page it says “ASP support webalizer web statistics”

… but on this page it mentions Webalizer and AwStats.

Yes those are log analysis programs, no hit counters :slight_smile:

It does have both in the plan/s

Ok, do you know if it’s possible to hook into either of these to retrieve the number of hits?

Thanks, Michael.

You could probably use a screenscrape from webalizer stats, as they are not password protected, but AWStats would be harder as it is a password protected interface.
