- If you get a message about host not authorized, edit the configuration file /usr/local/etc/conf/count.cfg and add the hostname you saw in the message in the [authorized] section.
- If you get URL http://your_host/foo.html is not in the Auth database, use the supplied script editdb to add the URL to the database. Or you can use the CGI script count_admin.cgi to do that.
