How do i track the hits my website gets?

Friday, May 25th, 2007

The first way to check hits is by server side scripts. These usually come provided by your host and are normally found on your control panel. These applications such as Awstats will produce reports every so often and show hits.

Another way is to use a hit counter script and place this on your website. This will display the number of visitors to the visitors that you get.

A third way is to use a remote website thats purpose is to monitor other websites.

Ruby on Rails

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Ruby on Rails is an open source web framework that is optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity.

Rails works with a wealth of web servers and databases. For web server, we recommend Apache or lighttpd, running either FastCGI or SCGI, or Mongrel. For database, you can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, or Firebird. Just about any operating system will do, but we recommend a ‘nix-based one for deployment.
