Well...you can replace the following codes that Widgetz has recently provided:

Code:

$title_linked = &build_linked_title ("$rec{'Category'}/$rec{'Title'}");
&html_print_headers;
print &site_html_detailed (%rec);


WITH the following codes:

Code:

print "Location: $build_detail_url/$rec{'ID'}$build_extension\n\n"


This will record the HITS and then redirect to the DETAILED page! (non-cgi)

It is the actual code that may have the 500 error (premature end of script headers)

Can someone check the syntax of widgetz above code please?

It returns 500 errors no matter how I call it (btw - is there a way to check which line the error may be in?)

Yes...if you have telnet access...

Use the following command lines:

1) Access directory where counter.cgi resides:

Code:

cd /cgi-bin/links/


2) Check the syntax of the file:

Code:

perl -c counter.cgi


3) Copy the error message in your clipboard (Notepad)

4) Then open the file:

Code:

vi counter.cgi


5) Go to the line where the error is:

Code:

:57


Replace 57 with the line number of the syntax error.

6) Copy the line and paste it into your clipboard (Notepad)

7) Then exit the file:

Code:

:q!


Couple suggestions:

1) Get a Text Editor that shows line numbers:

http://www.textpad.com
http://www.editplus.com

2) Learn some UNIX if you want to use telnet to view your files and target shoot your file problems.

Hmmm...the errors seemed odd

Here is the counter.cgi file in txt format:
http://www.wheelweb.com/downloads/counter.txt

The errors returned by the telnet commands are denoted by:
# error

It looks okay to me but...

also, the last error message said:
counter.cgi had compilation errors.

not sure what that means?

Welp...my only other suggestion is that you use the default version of jump.cgi...rename it to something like counter.cgi.

Then replace the following codes:

Code:

print "Location: $goto\n\n" :


with the following codes:

Code:

print "Location: $build_detail_url/$id$buildextension\n\n" :


Then add the following codes in your link.html file:

Code:

<a href="<Û_cgi_url%>/counter.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Detailed Page</a>


This is the last suggestion I have for you.

Good luck!

Regards,

but it is pretty lengthy and difficult to explain so...

Welp....glad you figured it out...

And if you want help with this particular code hack and others...explaining the errors you receive is a lot better than plainly stating "for whatever reason".

Best of luck with your Links projects!
