Problem with site statistics since installing GoogleTap

Captain Joined: Sep 16, 2003 Posts: 380

I installed GoogleTap (cvs .GT files) on my nuke 6.5 site and now the site statistics index generated by my host are no longer viewable.

When I browse to http://nuke.schoper.net/stats/index.html I should see my main Webalizer index page. Instead I get a copy of the sites main page file with most of the images missing.

Is there something I can put in .htaccess or header.php to prevent this from happening?

TIA,

Greg

I don't know your exact setup, but why is it calling the stats directory, shouldn't it be http://nuke.schoper.net/stats.html if it was working correctly. I haven't seen GT using directories on rewrites, would you mind pasting the code for your stats module, I will compare it to the module to see what the rewrites should be, and post the code up here, with a working example on my test site. Thanks.

Looking on your site, I noticed that link to stats did not work, it should be nuke.schoper.net/modules.php?name=Statistics

When looking at the CVS files, I do not see any rewrites for the Stats module in the header.php or the .htaccess, the distribution on the CVS does not contain a rewrite for the stats module. If you would like one, I will work on it for you.

Sorry, I should have explained in a little more detail. The /stats/ directory is not nuke content. It is generated and placed in that directory by my service provider. It just happens to reside under the root of my php-nuke install and the rewrite rules appear to be doing somthing with the index.html file. All of the other files under /stats/ are viewable if you type their url into the browsers location bar, it's just the index.html file that is affected.

Is there something I can modify to tell it to exclude /stats/ ?

I need you to paste your .htaccess and header.php up here, It looks as though your rewrites are going to the stats directory, when they should not be.

Both .htaccess and header.php are unmodified versions from cvs.nukecops.com downloaded today.

I think I got what your saying.
Grab the htaccess.SUBDOMAINS from the CVS and upload it to the stats directory, (make sure you rename it) this will turn rewrite off. You should then be able to view the content in the folder.

If you want rewrite on still, you should be able to drop the .htaccess.GT file in there and rewrite for that directory individually, am I off base here, let me know how that works.

I just tried this. Unfortunately I don't have write access to /stats/. My service provider must be doing something (sticky bit???) to prevent me from creating or modifying files under that one directory.

I googled for "mod_rewrite exlcude directory" and came up with this:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/stats

Which should exlude rewrites of all files under /stats, but this didn't work. I might not be placing it in the right area of /.htaccess. I put it directly under (line 15):

Code:

RewriteEngine on

You will have to contact your service provider and have them place that file in that directory. I do not believe there is any other way around this. Anyone else have any idea's.

I put in a request with my service provider to create the .htaccess file for me. I'll update this thread with the results when I get them.

Thanks for your help.

My service provider created the .htaccess file for me and the problem went away.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
i have the same problem so this

Quote:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/stats

helped me.

But now I want to have access to the directory stats and all existent subdirectories.

What have I to write in the .htaccess file to make this possible. Now the stats-mdoule works, but not the subdirectories under the stats-directory.

Please help me,

Andreas
