I must be having an issue with caching or something. I’m not seeing any files newer than yesterday and don’t see anything like “upgrading to 2.0 or higher.txt” anywhere. I’ll see if I can figure that out. Looking forward to trying the new script out.
The GeoLiteCity.dat file must be uploaded in binary
Maybe you uploaded it in ascii mode?
Check your ftp program setting, upload it again. Let me know if that helped.
I have a couple of questions concerning these two steps;
Step 5)
Upload the contents of the 'whos-online' folder to your web server.
Probably a stupid question. So I just upload the entire folder all at once to my web server. #-o
Step 6)
add the following code to a php file that is included on every php page on your web site:
(note: this works best when the included file is a settings.php include that is included before any output including header)
(if you include it in the header, body, or footer, the whos-online.php page will not work)
Not sure what this means. Where do you put it. #-o
Chuck are you installing this on a carterlake template site?
There are two sections in the readme file
Installation (carterlake php template sites)
and Installation (any other php template sites)
The step 6 you posted was from the second section, but to answer your question it would go in a Settings.php that is included before the header output.
Thanks I went ahead with the carterlake directions. As for the folder do you upload the entire folder as is so the other three folder inside would be sub directories.
If you have command line access to your server you can upload the compressed GeoLiteCity.dat.gz file and uncompress it.
or grab it with wget
If you are able to have command line, see here for instructions: http://www.maxmind.com/app/installation?city=1
Upload the following files to your web server where your template site is:
active_bot.gif
active_user.gif
inactive_bot.gif
inactive_user.gif
include-whos-online-header.php
include-whos-online-page.php
include-whos-online-settings.php
spiders.txt
whos-online.php
