Okay, this calls for some patience but here goes!

I am running FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a Pentium system with
Apache Web Server 1.2.6.  I have a another virtual server
with a hosting company which offered a really cool site
counter called WWWCOUNT2.4. This counter is really
great, because its super configurable and will ignore
repetitive hits from somebody with the same IP number
just refreshing their screen over and over. If anyone wants
a copy of it, let me know and I'll e-mail you a copy or
make it available on my server for you to FTP.

The instructions to install this counter say to cd to your
home directory and then type:

    tar -xvf  /usr/local/contrib/wwwcount.tar

So I loaded the file to my FreeBSD / Apache webserver
into the /usr/local/contrib directory and executed the command
line above from the / directory. It unzipped okay and all looked well.
But when I load my page with the script called out in it nothing
happens. So I look at the error log and find that I am getting a file
does not exist error.

This is the actual error message:
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/cgi-bin/Count.cgi failed for 192.168.0.2,
reason: File does not exist

The HTML code for the script in my page looks like this:
<img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=home.dat&dd=D&comma=T&frgb=fccc38"
align=absmiddle>

This all works fine on my virtual server with iServer.com (they run BSD)

The Apache server I am running at home is configured like so:
ServerRoot /usr/local/etc/httpd

I tried changing the HTML code to call the actual directory that Count.cgi
is in, /usr/local/etc/apache_1.2.6/cgi-bin/, but the results are still the
same.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I really like this counter and
hate to switch to anything else.

Am I right in saying that /usr/local/etc/apache_1.2.6 and
/usr/local/etc/httpd
are the same directory? When I FTP to my server, this is what seems to be
the case.
