Mint 2 appears to not be tracking stats

I’ve done a new install of Mint 2, and added the User Agent 007, Secret Crush, Real Estate, Blog Comments and Trends Peppers.

I also added the Massive Blue style from Peppermint Tea, but assume this is of no consequence…

My site is WordPress based, but I’m certain I’ve got the database code entered correctly.

I don’t seem to be registering stats any more. This may be since I added Peppers. I’ve tested hitting my site from several computers and different browsers with no joy….?

I don’t see anything wrong with your installation and it appears to have recorded me just fine. Are you sure that all of the browsers you checked in didn’t already have the “Ignore my visits” cookie set already?

No, I don’t think so. I enlisted a little help from outside my office network to have a look at my website using Internet Explorer on Windows (so I’d be able to clearly see their visit).

Ah, your server is responding with a 412 Precondition Failed error for the Mint record request. This is the result of an aggressive mod_security. You can disable it for the Mint directory by adding the following to an .htaccess file in your Mint directory:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
SecFilterCheckURLEncoding Off
</IfModule>

Thanks a lot, that seems to have sorted things out :)

Hi - I also seem to have had the same problem for the last couple of days (though i’m not sure whether this is due to a 412 Precondition Failed error).. The .htaccess solution didn’t work.. Any other ideas or diagnoses?

Your site is missing the MInt JavaScript include tag. Have you recently redesigned or modified your site’s templates?

..i might have known it was my own fault… The site’s templates had been altered and for some reason the javascript include vanished, i should have checked.

Cheers
