#1 Preferences Stored Elsewhere

[Anonymous]

Dear Misanthrope,
I have been using Count WWWebula CGI for a few days
now. I am a 6th grader and do my school's web page.
My problem is that I can set the preferences for Count
WWWebula on a computer and change them but they
don't work. I try to ignore all hits from 207.125.34 (my
school where I look at the page and edit it) and from
207.125.42 (Central Office for the School System where
my mom and school system employees look at the
page. I know what the problem is: It is that I set the
preferences on one computer and they don't work. The
reason is because I am using a computer at my school
to edit the page which is stored on the school system
Web Server. The problem saves its preferences in
the "Preferences" folder in the "System Folder" for the
computer I edit the page on. It needs to put them in
the "Preferences" folder in the "System Folder" for the
Web Server in our system so it will ignore those hits. I
can't get access to the system folder on the Web
Server so I need you to make CountWWWebula CGI to
store its preferences in the "cgi-bin/counter" folder
instead in the "Preferences" folder in the "System
Folder" so it will use the ones I set.

Summary: Just make the program store its preferences
in its folder not in the system folder.

Set up a server on one computer (You know. One with
an IP address you type in in Netscape.) Set up file
sharing on that computer so that you can edit the page
from another computer. Then run Count WWWebula on
a computer that's not the one that's the server. When
you set the prefs they won't work on the server because
they're not on the server's prefs folder in its system
folder. They're in the other computer's (not the server's)
prefs folder in its system folder.
