Visitants log by using CGI

[cadbilbao]

Hi!

I've got a website hosted on Solaris/Zeus server with CGI.

I would like to install a counter or a CGI to get the visitants log.

Is it possible? Does anyone know a good piece of code?

Thank you.

1) I created this piece of code (/cgi-bin/log.pl)

$log = "/__/foo/log.html";
$getdate = `date +"%D %T %Z"`;
chop ($getdate);
open (LOG, ">>$log"
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n ";
print LOG &quot; [ <B>Time:</B> $getdate ] - \n&quot;;
print LOG &quot; [ <B>With:</B> $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} ] - \n&quot;;
print LOG &quot; [ <B>Host:</B> $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'} ] - \n&quot;;
print LOG &quot;[ <B>From:</B> <A HREF=$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}>$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}</A> ]<BR>\n\n&quot;;
close (LOG);
exit;

2) I did chmod it 777
3) I created an empty file /__/foo/log.html
4) I did chmod both directory and file 777
5) I inserted into 'index.html':

<!--#exec cgi=&quot;/__/cgi-bin/log.pl&quot;-->


But I access my 'index.html' and when browsing log.html, there is nothing... what am I doing wrong???

I haven't written a visitor log script myself, but i have been doing some similar things with logging other stuff and using SSI, (although on NT),.....AND it's just a thought, but check your server is configured to run SSI 'exec' commands, as there have been issues with security on some web servers.

Try taking the pathname part out of your #exec statement. Just make it:

<!--#exec cgi=&quot;log.pl&quot;-->

I think that exec cgi requires that the program be in your cgi directory (which it appears it is).
