Description
|
|
Specified files are logged as they are accessed. This is a nice enhancement
to the standard logging that the web server does, as it only tracks what
you specify. It masks the download directory to prevent other sites from
linking directly to your downloads. Download Tracker uses a combination
of JavaScript and PERL to track the downloads. The following information
is stored for further analysis using Local Analysis: Date, Time, IP Address,
Item.
|
| |
Setup
|
- Copy all of the files to /cgi-bin/daboo/download/ directory.
- CHMOD everything to 755
- If you have not already downloaded Local Analysis, download and install
it, so that you may view the log files generated by Download Tracker.
- Edit $DownloadDir="/downloads"; in download.pl to point
to the location of your downloads. "/" may be used if there
are a number of download locations.
