Problem with Access Stats 1.12

everything seems to be set up properly but the script doesn't write a log file at all.

-->log.pl
# url to the image file
$output = "http://24.57.124.235/cgi-bin/log.gif";

# path to the log files from the server root without trailing "/" (chmoded to 777 (drwxrwxrwx))
$base_dir = "../cgi-bin/logfile";

-->stat.pl
# url to script
$cgiurl = "http://24.57.124.235/cgi-bin/stat.pl";

# url to the image files without trailing "/"
$gif_url = "http://24.57.124.235/cgi-bin/gif";

# path to the log files from the server root without trailing "/" (chmoded to 777 (drwxrwxrwx))
$base_dir = "d:/apache/cgi-bin/logfile";

# url to the log files without trailing "/"
$log_url = "http://24.57.124.235/cgi-bin/logfile";

the server is an apache webserver running on (unfortunately) windows98
ive tried using both methods (SSI and JavaScript) and nothing appears in the logfile dir.

could someone please explain what im doing wrong?
thnx

in log.pl change:
# path to the log files from the server root without trailing "/" (chmoded to 777 (drwxrwxrwx))
$base_dir = "../cgi-bin/logfile";

in to:
# path to the log files from the server root without trailing "/" (chmoded to 777 (drwxrwxrwx))
$base_dir = "d:/apache/cgi-bin/logfile";[/b]
