[bigray]

ok i made a counter but it says to make a count.txt file blank and
CHMOD count.txt 777 what tht mean?

[lesmith]

It means to make the file permissions to writable. If it is not it cant change the file.

There is several ways to do it.

If you use SSH chmod 777 count.txt

Or if u use something like cuteftp right click the file and change its properties to 777.

Hope this helps

UNIX permissions :

first digit is for the User himself, second one is tfor the user's Group members and the thrid is for all the Others.
1 is Read
2 is write
4 is execute

to know the access type of a file break down it's CHMOD so you know if you, your group members or everybody else can read/write/execute your file.

Some PHP apps like PHPBB2 require at least 644 to finish the configuration automatically.
To change it on a remote host use SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com) right click the file in the FTP browser and chage the access params in the properties box
