top downloads not working

I have top downloads running with no 500 errors. but, downloads by day gives me an error: Invalid log file daylog.txt. Daylog.txt is present and has chmod 666.

Also, when I download a file, it never records it and shows as zero. What gives? Do I have to include something in the anchor tag for the download to record?

Thanks.

Upload the script in ASCII-mode

It was done in ASCII mode.

This was posted by another person, this might solve your problem:

Okay, I had a look see in stat_js.pl. Here's the solution:
Change
$basedat = "track.txt";
to
$basedat = "log.txt";

You only use stat_js.pl in .htm or .html docs !!
Like this: <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.seigmen.org/cgi-bin/downloads/stat_js.pl?top=15"></script>

The SSI way shoul work just fine as it is, as long as you use the status.pl file to get the info from, like this: 
, and as long as you've got a page ending with .shtm or .shtml[/b]

Goodluck!

I'm having the same problem as the person above.

I go to the page generated by top download: http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?job=show&top=15 ... Then I click on the "Downloads by Day" link. The following message gets displayed:

Top Downloads 2.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invalid log file daylog.txt.

At the following url: http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?job=stats

I have noticed that all the download count for all zips remains 0 even though I know people are downloading (I asked a few people to download to test it).

When I checked stat_js.pl as justus04011 recommeneded above, $basedat = "log.txt"; , is correct.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
