[Tutor] Hit Counter

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 15:11:11 -0700

Well, I'm not sure this will fix your problem, but first off, I wouldn't
use
pythonw.exe
which is the Windows GUI version of Python
for CGI.

Nor would I use any scripts ending with a .pyw extension.

I would just use python.exe and .py.

Like I said, I'm not sure this will solve the problem, but that was just
something that jumped out at me.

:<input type="hidden" name="Stats" value="Hit Counter">
:</form>

:but I suspect this is where the problem is. Why doesn't the script
