I fixed it by placing the ini_set line in the admin.php file right after the requires. This allow utstatsdb to
write sessions to my drupal "files" folder that is writable.

Thanks

I tried the session save and it didn't work for me. I wrote to my host and they are suggesting this:

The problem with the save handler is we have our set to use "user" which is the default for Drupal. Inside utstats99 you will need to find an appropriate place to add the line:

ini_set("session ...

Not sure I understand what that means. could it be a port or permission problem that my host can fix or does it sound like something I have wrong?

I asked my host here:

Thanks Panther.

Our new host had some restrictions set on our gameserver. Everything works like normal now.

Panther,

Looks like our server host has to fix some permissions for us. I tested it on another UT99 server and the logs
parse ok.

One other thing...
When parsing from admin, I used to see status as the logs parse...like "10 of 58" parsed, then
say "21 of 58" and so on. Now I just get a still ...

Ok hopefully I'm getting close. The cron works now...thank to Panther.

However, I am now getting these warnings:

Downloading log 'Unreal.ngLog.2008.06.28.13.30.31.7777.log'....successful

I don't have shell access on my webhost.

I've tried running it via cron and that doesn't work either. I have never had any prob running
from admin. It's usually a configuration problem but I can't figure this one out.

Could this be it...

In the past I have had 3.01 running on UT99, UT2003, & UT2k4 with no problems.
Recently I just set up UT99 on v3.02 and cannot get the parsing to work right. The
browser hangs when I parse. I have to close the browser and when I try and parse again,
I get the message "Log parser currently locked ...

I can ftp the server where the logs are with no problem. The logs are at:

/UTGame/Logs/

EDIT: I am using utstatsdb v3.02 for UT3.
BTW, I do have v3.01 working for several UT99 & UT2k4 servers. I'm not
entirely new to this system but can't figure out why UT3 is not parsing.

Any suggestions for me Panther. Still can't get the parse logs to work. Here is what I get when I parse:

Initializing ftp file transfer.
Connected to 'my ip address' on port '21' for user 'storm'.
Enabling passive mode.
Successfully changed ftp directory to '/UTGame/Logs'.
No new logs to download ...

I tried the meta entries above but still the same. I have to clear my browser cache and reload the page to see updated stats. I haven't tried the javascript function yet. Where do I put that code?

Hmmmm.....now it says "Log parser currently locked for update"

Before is was saying "No log files to process"

It's working now.

A few questions please:

1) I am using an iframe to show this in our website. Is it safe having the ip address in the
iframe since peeps can view source code.

2) It doesn't update info unless I clear my browser cache. Can it be fixed to update on
browser refresh

3) Can this be ...

here are the files listed in the Logs folder:

I have utstatdb 3.02 installed. When I try and parse the logs, it keeps saying "No log files to process".
There are log files in /UTGame/Logs folder.

Could it by my prefix is wrong: Stats-
Maybe some other setting.
Or, is it a 3.02 thing. Tried shutting the server down but still no parsing.

Any ...

hmmmm....we installed the webstats package but when we visit the address we get
this:

XML Parsing Error: no element found

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here. Thanks

I have used utstatsdb with Ut99, 2k3, & 2k4. I know that 2k3 didn't log local stats and users need a mod for this.
Hopefully, such a fix will come along for UT3.

BTW, nice new phpBB3 forum Panther.
