[do : 'chmod 666 logs.php'] - well that's it really.. To check the stats out, just run 'logcount.php'. At the moment this file is *not* protected with any password orso, to change that, edit the 'logcount.php' file and change these line : $username = ""; ==> $username = "clarkkentis"; $password = ""; ==> $username = "superman"; Or any other combo that strickes you fancy...
