4. Configuration

Configuration of Argala Counter is SIMPLE and EASY!

Before you use the counter, you are required to do the following first:

  1. Edit the file arcount.cfg.
  2. Upload the necessary files to your UNIX web server.
  3. Configure and customize the counter through the web browser.
If the PERL interpreter on the web server is not in /usr/bin/perl directory, you are required to amend the first line (i.e. the PERL interpreter directory path) of arcount.cgi.

You can enter 'which perl' or 'whereis perl' at the command prompt of your UNIX server to find out the location of the PERL interpreter.

For example, by typing 'which perl', you may receive the following reply :

        which perl
        /usr/local/bin/perl

As the location is different from our pre-defined one, you need to change the first line of arcount.cgi from #!/usr/bin/perl to #!/usr/local/bin/perl.

If you are still unable to find it, please ask your web host where it is located.

Modification of Argala Counter Configuration File (arcount.cfg)

  1. Open the file arcount.cfg with a text editor.
  2. Follow the listed instructions to configure the variables. These variables are preceded by comment lines (lines beginning with the # symbol) that explain how you should set the variables. You are required to set 2 variables only.
  3. Save the file.
Create your digits images

If you would like to use your own graphical counter images, you should create 10 GIF format images named 0.gif, 1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif, 4.gif, 5.gif, 6.gif, 7.gif, 8.gif, 9.gif. They should be the same size.
