Jim,

Since you're asking this question on WEB400, I assume you're running your
site on an iSeries (either Apache based or Classic).  An easy way to do it
is to turn on server logging.  Then use a program like UltraEdit that will
count the occurrences of a string (in this case, the address of the page)
to view your log files.

Unfortunately, the log files (at least the classic log files) are not in a
very friendly format for doing any serious analysis, so we wrote a Net.Data
macro that writes HTTP request info to a physical file, and we do an SSI
exec cgi include with it on every page for static pages.  For our dynamic
Net.Data stuff, we just call a function.

Jim,

Yes - there are many options available, depending on how your static page
is
designed.


One example follows:sorry, frontpage code:

<p align="right">You are visitor number <!--webbot bot="HitCounter"
u-custom
i-digits="0" i-image="0" preview="&lt;strong&gt;[Hit
Counter]&lt;/strong&gt;" i-resetvalue="10500" startspan --><img
SRC="_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/?Page=Default.htm|Image=0" ALT="Hit
Counter"><!--webbot bot="HitCounter" endspan i-checksum="5865" --></p>


Another way to do this involves using web based counters, basically you
embedd
the code into your static web page, the site will show you how, and advise
you in
most cases for a link to their site or their sponsors site.  I do not have
any
available right now, but search the web for "hit counts/hit counters" or
the
such,
some are free, some are pay.

You could also write your own cgi script on the server (most servers will
support this)
regardless of the language (ms, linux, unix, os/400, or even mac)

Is there a way to count visitors on a static page (html only)?
Management wants to know.
