    Hi all,

    For some reason with the upgrade my visitor counter is getting this message:

    Counter datafile "/var/cpanel/Counters/userid.dat" must be created in cPanel first!

    I checked the documentation but no avail. I search the forum and I didn't find any answer.

    If anybody can help or give me some direction is greatly appreciated.

    thanks,
    jj

    You need to create this file again, just put the visitor counter.

    pico -w /var/cpanel/Counters/userid.dat

    Hi Alex,

    When you said "You need to create this file again, just put the visitor counter."

    You mean to put the visitor counter html command on my index.html ?

    thanks,
    jj

    no, You need to recreate the DAT file (the userid.dat) in cpanel directory.

    Counter Issue

    Hi All,

    Steps for solving this issue "Could not write to counter file: /var/cpanel/Counters.countername.dat" while we set a counter for a domain

    Answer
    ------------

    Login to your server
    cd /hvar/cpanel/Counters
    chown username.username to countername.dat
    save and quit

    Refresh your browser and clear their caches.......

    Hope this will solve the issue. :)

    Thanks,

    Shivin Vijai
