someone has hacked into my account, and deleted my data, lucky i have backed up the data, but when i re-input the data click.txt and upload and replace the same clicks.txt file it doesnt input the data into the admin when i go to check it just shows 1 (id118 ) only,

Please help me get my correct data stored back & correctly.

I doubt you have been hacked, what you probably suffered was corrupted data because of text database overload. How many links are you counting and how many clicks do you receive on average?

What you should do is delete clicks.txt from your server, upload a blank one and then try to upload the backup.

I did what you suggested, but still no luck,
i mean the links work on my site but, they show blank on my site

i have a hit count of about 10,000 clicks all up with 340 differnet links.

Is there an option to upgrade or have a bigger copacity of click, i mean is this the issue?

Well at this amount on links/clicks the problem probably is corrupted clicks file. The thing is CCount uses a text database and text databases aren't capable of handling a large amount of data/processing because they are not fast and secure enough. You should rather find and use a script with MySQL database which is a lot faster and cannot be corrupted as easily as text databases.

Cmon Klemen,

So what are you telling me now that your php ccount is no good for me,

and if so i will lose 340 customers links & Hit counts?

what will my customers think when i tell them there hit count went back to 0,

It took me 6 months to find a useful service until i found you,

now i have to look around for another long time before i get what i need.

Yes, unfortunately that is exactly what I am telling you. You should have used a MySQL script from the start, text database scripts (not CCount or any other text database script) are just not powerful enough for large amount of links/clicks.

I really need to place a warning to CCount download page, people just don't seem to do even a little bit of research as to what kind of script they should use...
