Hi,
I have a problem with the whosonline_data.php,
in fact it's save the number of guests and members of the day, but the day after it give me some errors ("access denied") and the statistics are erased.

this happens every day.

Could it be a problem of the server?

I've tried to set permissions on the whosoline_data.php that now are: -rw----

if i try to set permission to 777 or different the server return an error message, "impossible to set permission". This happens only with this file.

Someone can help me?
Thanks a lot.

Probably, you will not be able to set the permission for that file. We are still looking for the solution... because when PHP renames the file, it sets his own permissions, so only PHP script could achieve this file. Is somebody knows the solution how to make the file with permissions 777 automatically, we would be glad to implement it.

As about resetting the stats - it's interesting prob. What exactly errors do you get? Post a full error message please.

The full error message is displayed to the first visitor of the day,
so I can't report that now cause I have a lot of registered user that use that.

However I remember that one of the error is: "permission denied to access whosonline_data.php"

I hope to report full error message as soon as possibile, so you can look at the line code error.

Will wait for it.

I have take a look at the code - are you sure that nobody knows your admin password? Maybe try to change it. Because there is an option when logged in admin can reset the counter.

Nobody knows the passwd, however i will try changing it.

How can the admin reset the counter?

Can i change this option?

If you are logged in as admin, then type in URL

/whosonline.php?resetwonline=1

and your counter will be reset.

For avoiding this, remove this code from whosonline.php:

if($user_id==1 and isset($_GET['resetwonline']
)) {
$w_record[1]=0; $w_record[2]=0;
}

I removed the code lines:

f($user_id==1 and isset($_GET['resetwonline']
)) {
$w_record[1]=0; $w_record[2]=0;
}

and now it's all ok.... It works without deleting the records.

Ok... so, be sure nobody knew your admin's password... because it's possible to reset only if you are logged in as admin.

Well... the problem is the same, I've also changed my admin passwd.

I report these errors:

----
I guess that the problem is due to the permission denied to include whosonline_data.php on line 52 of whosonline.php

hope someone could help me.
Thanks

Well, you are right about this line, but for some reason, I think, whosonline_data.php is sometimes simply DELETED on your server. I can not say more, and you probably need to consult your provider on this - why this file is deleted. Maybe he is able to check logs. As you see, on our site this plugin is working with no problems for months already. And for example on biggest minibb forums it handles 150+ visitors w/o problems. So the reason is somewhere on your server.
