Mint Forum

Hey! I can’t think what to do with my Mint installation and before I completely removed the database and re-install it, I thought I’d ask here for some advice.

The problem is that some of the sessions aren’t getting through to Mint. I can’t really tell what does get through and what doesn’t… but all I know is that I asked two people at the same time to check a blog article and even though they both looked at the site only one session came through on Mint (they are in different locations.. so not same IP or anything).

Basically, over the last week, my Mint install just hasn’t been recording all hits. I have no idea what has changed other than the fact I now have a .htaccess line which redirects /blog/ to /.

Just for ease, this is the site: steffanwilliams.co.uk

I’ve haven’t got the XXX Strong Mint pepper installed and the only ones I do have are the ones created by Shaun along with Sparks, Outclicks and Session Tracker.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I’ve only really been watching Visits and Session Tracker - so that’s what I meant by a session. The visit/session just doesn’t show up.

As far as I’m aware, they have everything enabled (cookies/images/javascript etc).

Sorry I’m not more specific - I’m an idiot. =P

Yeah, Safari.

My site isn’t exactly big (or medium or anything really).. but it had a steady stream of visitors. Over the last week, it’s dropped from this steady stream to about 5 to 10 a day; which is lower than it has ever been.

Then when I asked two of my friends to do this little experiment for me (which I have repeated.. same results), I thought there must be a problem somewhere.

It may just be really random and I’ve just done something wrong somewhere. I’m prepared to reset the databse, I guess, and reinstall Mint. I wouldn’t lose much data since I only bought it in January. I’m sure it’s my fault and not the software itself.

Whenever a new version of Mint comes out, I update to it. So I updated to 2.04 from 2.03, but I only did that today.

My .htaccess file:

## Redirects to account for the blog shift from /blog
## and changed categories.

Redirect 301 /blog http://www.steffanwilliams.co.uk

Redirect 301 /category/mac-apps http://www.steffanwilliams.co.uk/software

Redirect 301 /mac-apps http://www.steffanwilliams.co.uk/software

The top three were implemented by me, the others were from the Wordpress installation. See anything there that could cause a problem?

As for third party Peppers, I’ve not installed any recently. I’ve just removed 3 (because I didn’t use them anyway) so I’ve only got one third party one installed - Session Tracker.

i have been noticing that mint hasn’t been tracking visits that i know were there since i upgraded to 2.0.4 yesterday. I’m going to try and uninstall session tracker and see if that works

that didn’t seem to work either.
