Just updated to Refer 2.01 and it seems that the code I have to add in the .htaccess file breaks my index.php page in IE for PC. All this browser sees is a blank white page, although on every mac we checked, there was no problem at all. Thank for any help.

This is the first time I've attempted to install Refer, and I'm not terribly up to speed with MySQL. I've gone back and forth with my webhost, and everything appears to be configured correctly (.htaccess is fine, php is working, etc.). However, when I run setupdb.php, I get "Database connection OK. Create refer table?" with a "create" button, and when I click "create," nothing happens. The page just reloads. Then, if I attempt to load refer/index.html, I get the following --

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in ./display.php on line 272

-- because setupdb.php is not creating the table. Any ideas?

Dean, you rock! Refer rocks! No problems. Just gratitude. Thank you.

Yegads, I was wondering why this support list was so quiet, and now I see that, unlike the 2.0 list, I have to subscribe manually. Piddle.

Dale, try removing the

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

line from .htaccess

Daniel,
Thank you, yes, there are two other places where it's relying on the database table to be called 'refer' instead of whatever you set in prefs.

This is fixed in 2.02.

"Unknown modifier" messasges and filtering failures due to special characters should clear up in 2.02 - I'd neglected to escape those for regexp matching.

I did try removing

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

but those on IE6 PC still get a blank page.

weird.

Um... never mind w/r/t my message below. (Sigh.) My hosting provider had failed to mention that while they are indeed running PHP4, they're not running it on the server my site is currently on, but on the server I'm going to be migrated to soon. Grr.

I have a question or maybe a suggestion for the next release of Refer.

I'd like to view only the IP-numbers of people instead of the name of the provider. Is that possible somehow? And is there a way to make a choice between - viewing provider name and viewing IP-numbers?

i sincerely hope i'm not doing something completely stupid and just overlooking it, but i cannot get this to work. i've installed it just fine and everything -seems- to be working, but it's not catching any referrers at all. what would be a common cause for that? and yes, my pages are php-aware....i've been using php for quite some time now.

Just bumping message #2, all the way back at the beginning; any thoughts?

When I try downloading the zip file, it says it has an invalid archive. Why is that?

There is something wrong with the download.

After trying various configurations I managed to get a table of all my recent hints, including all the running hits I am making while checking, but it doesn't seem to be registering anybody else's hits (I do know there is traffic to the site).

Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks.

I'm using refer 2.01 but every referline is showed twice ! And I only changed the userid/password stuff in the refer.php file ?!
