 How do I set my counter to a certain number?

 
Answer
 
This is called "Seeding your counter". If ever you wish to seed a counter (changing it's value to something other than what it currently shows - mainly used for adding a "few" more hits to the counter than it actually displayed), you can easily do it through FTP.

1. FTP to your server.

2. Go to the '/usr/local/etc/Counter/data/' directory.

3. Find the data file of the counter you wish to seed (ie. example1.dat)

4. Download the data file to your computer (make sure you are transferring it as an ASCII file!)

5. Edit the data file with a text editor and change the number to whatever you want (ie. 105 to 1050000)

6. Upload the newly seeded data file back to your server (remember, transfer it as an ASCII file!)

7. Your counter (the one that used the example1.dat) is now seeded and showing the new hit count you set it at!
