Hi wen, Make sure that the counter file is readable by the user apache or user nobody which ever is your default webserver user. If it is not then just chown it to nobody or chmod it to 777 and you are done.

The catch 22 is...... If you want security then its best to change the ownership to be the same as the webserver. But the problem is, if you dont have root permissions on the box, you cant change the ownership (or if you can, you cant change it back once its done). I have root access on the machines I work on so its not a problem, but a regular user may not have this ability to change it. Chris --
