Hi Mazzbott,

Without getting on my soapbox I would recommend using a Linux server (RedHat / CentOS) variant for hosting Apache/MySQL/PHP or at a push IIS7 (Windows Server 2008) with PHP. MySQL can be wherever (although I would recommend on a Linux box).

If I get chance I’ll deploy a virtual and install WAMP and see if I can find out what the issue is.

For anyone who is wondering; SRCDS is running a Windows 2008 box and the L4DStats website (and all my websites) run on CentOS. SRCDS is on the Windows server so I can test the .NET Binaries.

Hi mazzbott,

1) Can you describe the symptoms? - I would suggest its either because not all the files are present or by looking at the mysql warnings you posted later it cannot talk to the DB / the DB is empty

2) settings.php has *nix line returns so it would probably be best to edit in Wordpad on a Windows Platform

3) I’ve tested this on a variety of 5.1.X LAMP platforms and had no issues - Can you elaborate on your issues (WAMP is evil)

Lines 1274 etc relate to the GetRecentStats function which requires MySQL connectivity.

I would suggest unzipping a fresh copy of settings.php and editing it with Wordpad.

first i want to report these:
1- flash doesnt work in the page
2- its very hard to edit settings.php in the notepad, but its easier in winword
3- in the readme it says this is gonna work in php 5.1 or later but
this is not true i tried all 5.1.X but it didnt work , it worked with me on php 5.0.5 or less (im using wampserver)

i could’t make this work i tried everything it give me this error in the
top of the page :

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\wamp\www\Left4Dead\L4DStats.class.php on line 1274

Sorry if this is the wrong place to keep posting this. If so, please let me know where I can post bug submissions. However, I found the reason the Blood Harvest VS maps were showing Unknown because they were completely left out of the FormatMapNames Function. Once I added them, it worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to clarify that it lists Unknown Map for all VS Blood Harvest maps.

I successfully set up your stat server, and I want to say first. Thanks for the hard work! I also wanted to voice my support for continued PHP development as it works well on my windows box. The only think I’ve seen so far is two bugs: 1.)Not really a bug, but the LAMP images is missing env_explosion_small.png . 2.) The Top Games menu lists “Unknown Map” for all Blood Harvest maps.

Thanks again for your development of this stat tracker. All of my friends and I love it!

Hi Reali,
Ah yes, it used to be down in the copyright bit at the bottom but I accidentally removed it whilst formatting. :/
