Adsense Tracker Problems

[ezymoneyathome]

Hi All

I just purchasede and uploaded adsense tracker to my host. Is there anyone here that is using Ipower for host and has Adsense Tracker. I am stuck on the permissions. If you have it and can show me the permissions to use please let me know.

Best Regards Kevin

If the software requires certain permissions to be set, that info should be in the instructions. If not, I'd contact the publisher, who's the most likely to know.

Are you getting some error that makes you think there's a problem?

Hi Flyer

All im getting Is permissions are not proper. I have tried all suggested and contacted my host. No luck and no response from manufacturer yet.

Thanks For The Info

Are you using astracker?

Make sure that the settings.php file has public WRITE privileges (CHMOD)
set the permissions on the file to 777

Hi Kevin;

There shouldn't be any reason why your permissions should be a problem. Some hosts do not allow the use of chmod 777 but Adsense Tracker should also work with 775.

Email me with your log-in details and I will take a look for you.

If so, time for a new host, since permissions should be up to the site owner. I really dislike hosts that interfere with our business.

There are also legitimate reasons for not wanting the middle bit set for all and sundry.

I can't imagine writing code that would require xy7 (read, write, & execute) to be a mandatory setting. Letting that happen will let anyone with about 30 minutes of training write arbitrary code to that file and then execute it. Thus making it a security issue for the server as a whole. If you're in a shared hosting environment then that means that someone else allowing those settings and who then gets taken advantage of can cause the server to crash (or worse) for you too, even if your code is clean.

Things are bad enough with buffer overflows and other server-based problems without making it easy.

And yes, I do try to avoid using .cgi scripts, too.

Hi Kevin;

I just sent you a PM. Honestly I don't know why you are having difficulty with this. I checked your site and chmodded the directory to 777 and it works for me.

Try it again and let me know if you have any further problems.
