We are pleased to announce a small bug fix release of Simple Stats, fixing potential issues with certain characters in filenames and queries.
What is Simple Stats?
Simple Stats is a simple to install and easy to use statistics package for JW’s FLV player. It originally started as a simple Ruby script and has since evolved into a high quality professional package that is much, much faster through the use of aggressive caching and smarter code.
Simple stats consists of Javascript, PHP, and Python components. The Javascript component gathers statistics while the PHP and Python components log and process the log, respectively.
You can view a live demo of Simple Stats that is using a log file with 100,000 entries at:
http://programmer-art.org/demo/simplestats/
Please note that currently Simple Stats works ONLY for videos hosted on the same domain as the Simple Stats scripts (i.e. not embedded on other domains) because of browser restrictions (cross-site request restrinctions to prevent malicious attacks). It is possible to setup proxy logger scripts on other domains to which you embed but this is not included in Simple Stats at this time.
Installation
Extract the contents of the zip or compressed tar archive to your server and allow the web server write access to the extracted directory and its contents. Then navigate to the extracted directory in a web browser and follow the instructions.
Enjoy!
A lot of hard work has gone into Simple Stats. It is free for non-commercial use, however if you find this software useful please do consider a donation!
For information about commercial licensing please see the licensing page.
Hello,
I’m trying to install this nice tool on my website but this is what it says.
I’ve checked and seems that hosting is ok (no PHP safe_mode), public is the right folder with the read/write permission so I don’t know what to to…

Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in D:\inetpub\webs\sateliostv\public\functions.php on line 183
Unable to Execute!
Cannot execute directory `D:\inetpub\webs\sateliostv\public` with the current permissions. Please modify the permissions to allow the web server execute access.
An insecure way to do this is to allow everyone execute access. You can do this via your sftp client or the terminal if you have shell access, e.g.
chmod a+x D:\inetpub\webs\sateliostv\public
When the permissions are set properly please refresh the page.

Using
______________________________________
It would seem to be your hosting provider. They have disable PHP functions that Simple Stats utilizes. Without them it cannot function. To run it they would need to approve the script to run on their servers or you would need to find a new host. I suggest contacting them for support.
Ok, thanks a lot Josh

No problem, hopefully you can find a solution. If not, I highly recomend 1and1 for hosting. I used them for over a year before switching to a decated server with Layered Tech.
