Licensed Counter
The early shipping versions of both HCK and HCK 2 includes a counter that is shareware and will not function after 30 days unless you pay your shareware fee.

I have contacted the author (who no longer supports this counter) and purchased a version that is licensed for HCK and HCK 2 .

You can download the version found here > Counter and run the installer to install the licensed version on your server.

Installing the Counter
HCK for Windows Based FirstClass servers assumes that you are using the Counter called COUNTS50 by Henn Saar.
The instructions provided here are very basic, but all that are necessary to get your counter working with HCK.

Step 1
Creating the cgi-bin folder.  By default, FirstClass systems do not install a cgi-bin folder.  You must do this manually.  If you have not done so already, locate your FCServer folder and within that folder, create another folder called "cgi-bin"

Step 2
Download the attached "CNTS50.exe" and double-click to extract the archive to create a folder called "CNTS50".  

Step 3
Move this folder to the root level of the cgi-bin folder of your server.

Step 4
Open the folder and double-click on the SETUP.EXE application
Answer "Y" to the first two questions and when you are asked to enter the full physical path for your server's 'scripts' directory: enter
DriveLetter:\FCServer\cgi-bin where DriveLetter is the drive letter where your FCServer folder resides.  In this example, I am showing the FCServer folder is on drive D:

Step 5
Open the CNTS50 folder in the cgi-bin folder and locate the COUNTER.INI in Notepad
Locate the line beginning with ServerName and add your server's domain name.  For example:
ServerName=www.sd38.bc.ca

Save the changes.
