Posting it in the google group may also garner some responses from other users as well.

I'll probably come across as a complete idiot so I'll apologise in advance. I've installed some of your other plugins for Slimstat - like the city plugin for example and all work without a problem. This one however, gives a "Couldnt connect to host" message after about 30 secs. The countrydb folder is created and I've tried chmodding to 777 but no joy. I suspect a database problem combined with my lack of knowledge in this area. Any help would be appreciated Hi

My hosting server is Windows-based and I’m having alot of trouble getting this plugin to work

It's actually a plugin I'm still researching/working on. However there is no Google API for PageRank and I've discovered that many of the sites that offer pagerank info are actually violating Google Terms Of Service. New plugins will continue to be announced here and in the Google Groups forum. Cheers! Sharp eye there! It’s actually a plugin I’m still researching/working on.

Installed them all with no problems. When I had a look through your site I noticed a plugin called page rank on one of the screenshots. I googled for it but didn't come up with anything. Could you point me in the right direction? Cheers, Bo First of all many thanks for all your plugins. Installed them all with no problems.

I am beginning to think this is a problem due to a shared ip service (thus the /////). I am running 5 sites from here all without a dedicated ip and to date, have had no problems with it. It would be nice to get this sorted as all 5 sites are running through the same slimstat database and the more accurate information the better. Since I do not have the time to troubleshoot in the next couple of weeks so I will park it for now. Later I will changed to a dedicated IP and see if that will make a difference. Many thanks!

i’m wondering if it might have something to do with where the script perceives itself to be located as it is showing your installation with a lot of slashes at the beginning ////

are you changing the permissions using your shell access or via ftp? sometimes if the server is not allowing you to change the permission via ftp it won’t show any indication of this. can you take a quick view of the permissions of the countryupdate directory again and see what it is default set to?

it has to have this directory writeable so that it is able to place the ip-to-country db there.

Same errors. Attempt 2 created and confirmed permissions within autoinsider.ca/slimstat/countrydb/ folder chmod 0755.

Attempt 3

Anything you specify for $uploaddir is created automatically within the slimstat directory. You can leave it as default and it should pose no problem. just change it back to say "countrydb/" and it will create the directory in "/slimstat/countrydb/" If that's still giving you issues you'll just need to create the directory manually and give it permission to write to it eg. chmod 0755 I’ll make note to clarify that variable setting.

just change it back to say “countrydb/”

and it will create the directory in “/slimstat/countrydb/”
