hlstats not working

[theredfox]

I installed hlstats several weeks ago but it is not picking up any statistics. The web install went fine, and I can see the page. I set up my cron, which is running daily, according to my logs.

I think the problem might be in my autoexec.cfg file. The directions call for you to write logaddress_add <your server ip>:27500 but since I am on a shared webserver, I can't use an ip address. I instead used my url so it looks like logaddress_add ctunit.net:27500.

Should this work?

Even shared webhost packages have an IP, you should be able to use it too

[skeletor]

that and srcds will automatically turn that into an ip..For instance I put
logaddress_add stats.darkstargamers.com:27501
in hlsw and get
logaddress_add: 208.100.17.110:27501
back.

if your hlstats isn't picking up stats, its probably because you don't have the run_hlstats process running. In your perl directory (of the webserver) is it generating log files?

[theredfox]

There are no log files in the perl directory. How do I get run_hlstats to run?

My cron looks like:

0 1 * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/users/web/b511/pow.theredfox13/htdocs/hlstats/perl/hlstats-awards.pl

[skeletor]

thats the cron to run the awards update. the stats service has to be ran from shell. You will need to cd to the perl directory, and type in "./run_hlstats start" and that will start it.

[theredfox]

my shared webserver doesn't allow shell access.

so I installed everything on my dedicated box and it appears to be working now. thanks!

yea.. it limits that quite a bit, but thats why hlstatx provides it. Glad to hear its working though!
