Quick Start
This page will tell you what you need to run our web-traffic analyzer, and tell you what you need to do before the ZoomStats will
work. If you follow this
guide and you still can't get it up and running, we recommend that you ask on the mailing list, it is the best place to get questions answered.
Please remember that the people on the mailing list can be anybody and don't have to have any connection to the project.
System Requirements
There are severel requirements that your system has to meat for you to run ZoomStats. First of all it must have PHP(v4.0.6+) and a database installed. If you don't
have PHP installed you can download it from php.net. ZoomStats will support a number of widely used database, right now it supports:
If your database is not present on our list, please let us know - we would be more than happy to fix it.
Downloading the source
Another important thing you need before you can use ZoomStats is... download ZoomStats. You can download it from here.
We recommend getting the latest stable version. Using an unstable or cvs snapshot is asking for trouble even if you have a mailing list to help you.
With that said we would of course like people testing our system, and testing a stable version isn't helping very much. So if you are ready to hack some
source to get the system up and running you're very welcome. Be sure to submit a bug
report if you find any bugs. It's through your experiences that we learn.
Installing ZoomStats
To install ZoomStats just go to YourSite.com/zoomstats/install/index.php and fill in the correct values for your server. Then it should install itself, if it does not install correctly or gives you errors please report this with the error message and the values you filled in here.
After you have done this all you need to do is add:
<?php include("*path to zoomstats*/record.php"); ?> in your webpage and it will log hits from that web page.
Testing ZoomStats
To test ZoomStats just go to a webpage with that php code added in with your favorite browser, now go to the directory where ZoomStats is, and if you see your IP and other information there it works! And if it does, please
with what OS, Webserver, DB, and PHP version you used it on so your information can be added to the FAQ!
Final words
We hope you will make a good use of ZoomStats. And remember - our mailing lists aren't far away!
