Default WHERE can I find Counter, etc.?


I'd like to find html code for some things for my site:
- hit counter
-PW log in for certain site pages
-button to follow a link

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Brad

Your host should provide these as logs. It's very "my first homepage" to
have visible page counters.

Check out Site Meter at: http://www.sitemeter.com/default.asp

There's a free version and several paid versions.

Where can you find the logs if you have a web server?

Consult your host or your server manual.

And if you are on those free hosting services like GeoCities? NO WAY to access
the logs.

Now that you have gotten a few replies, I'll post my bit.

First, none of this is possible with HTML alone - it all requires some
sort of CGI or a setup provided by your host.

Hit Counter - Rather than tell the world how few (or even how many) hits
you get, look into server logs as someone else mentioned. So long as
you're on a decent webhost there are some stats you can access. Check
their help files for more info.

Password pages - if you are on an Apache server, you can do this yourself
without any witchcraft. Check with your host on this. A host I do a site
on provides secure passworded directory login as part of the package, you
don't need to upload anything special.

Button links - if as I suspect, you want a form button to open the next
page, don't. Unless the link is generated as the result of a form, where
you really have to use a submit button, make a static link look like a
link for usability.

Where can I find the server manual on a local web server, with man php
or man apache?
