IF YOU LIKE MY HACK, PLEASE CLICK INSTALL

[redtailboa]

my guess now is that its probably my php caching program

[akanevsky]

Ok this is really odd. I checked my email and had like 50 db errors saying psistats_country was not there. Then I check back on the psistats.php and its magically working. I didn't do one thing to fix it.

At this point, the error about psistats_country comes from class_core.php ONLY. Make sure you remove the whole piece of code in class_core.php (it is enclosed with my name in comment, so you'll easily find it).

[redtailboa]

I removed that right after the install, but apparently the php caching program didn't pick the change up right away Anyway this maybe a good heads up to users who use mmcache or some other sort of php cache or accelerator

Hi Psionic

I have been monitoring the stats for the crawlers...
Yours are way off m8...

From monday i have had google in 249 times, Yahoo 99 time and msn 148 times...

Your stats are showing Since install about 1 week Google + adsense 33, MSN a and yahoo 40....

So as you can see yours stats for this is way out, how i dont know... :surprised:

You can see this yourself here

My crawler block was 2655 for google on monday, 1359 for yahoo and 2858 for MSN, I keep a written log of the 3 main spiders, this is just for my curiosity, this is how i know whats what....

Any thoughts on this?

Regards

Bashy

Suggestion:

What about picking up stats on other OS'es. From the looks of it, its not reporting anything for FreeBSD, NetBSD, Open or any other BSD. In fact, I don't think its picking up others like Solaris, Irix etc.

And yes, before someone ask alot of people come to my site with *BSD and odd unix's. Half of our members are BSD users (www.bsdgangster.org)

[akanevsky]

The stats do NOT count hits. They count stats once in an hour, which means that only one hit per hour counts for each host.

As for BSD, gimme list of agent identifiers for those OSes and I'll gladly add them.

[redtailboa]

I think this is what you want:

aix = "IBM AIX"
atheos = "Atheos"
amiga = "AmigaOS"
darwin = "Darwin"
osf = "Digital"
free-bsd = "FreeBSD"
hp-ux = "HPUX"
net-bsd = "NetBSD"
open-bsd = "OpenBSD"
palm = "PalmOS"
photon = "QNX Photon"
symbian = "SymbianOS"
unixware = "UnixWare"
open-vms = "OpenVMS"
sun = "SunOs"
beos = "BeOS"
os/2 = "Os2"
irix = "IRIX"
plan9 = "plan9"
unix = "Unix"
x11 = "Unix"

I believe that covers most of the popular OS'es out there

[redtailboa]

Let me know if you want a larger list of browsers and spiders, I got that information as well (altavista,alltheweb,euroseek,hotbot,lycos)

[DementedMindz]

It should be no more then 1 hour before the stats show up.

Go into your vbulletin admin "Scheduled Task->Scheduled Task manager" section and look to see if "psiStats 2006 Hourly Update" is there. If its not, you need to add it. Here are the details:
Title: psiStats 2006 Hourly Update
Day of the Week: *
Day of the Month: *
Hour: *
Minute: 15 - - -
Log Entries: No
Filename: ./includes/cron/psistats_update.php

After that, give it about 15 minutes and browse your site, then go back to this section and manually run it. You should have some stats show up after that, if you do not you got something else going on.
