[drupal-support] site hit counter

[Rahul Benegal]

I do have the statistics module configured. 
a) However, it does not give me a total for hit across the site. 
b) Also, if a person comes to front page only and doesnt go further, i
dont think the stats would show that.

What i mean by (a) is that if person A clicks on item 1 and person B
clicks on item 2, i get 1 read in each item. But is that 2 people or 1
(the same person who clicked on two items). Also, in this case i would
have to go to each item and manually total the "reads" to get a figure
of hits. And "reads" doesnt correspond to IP's.

So i think a block saying how many hits on the front page would still
be required.

Someone here suggested a means of doing so. I shall try, if anyone
else makes it, please post me.

thanks for all the help, rahul benegal.

I suggest you take a look at statistics.module (included with default
installation - just

Would be grateful if you could point me to a means of capturing and
displaying hit count on my drupal site (I am not a php programmer).
