Google Analytics - free online web analytics | The 3-year-old web application, created by Google after acquiring Urchin Software, that allows businesses to make better decisions with respect to their web applications.
1. Start with the correct user account
Since Google Analytics (GA) is a free tool that processes incoming tracking data on-the-fly, but there is no way to bulk transfer data between accounts. Setting up a long-term email address for your account is crucial, especially if you don’t want to keep multiple sets of data around in the future. Create a generic account based on your domain called google@domain.com - then simply use your ISP to forward that address to the appropriate one.

The C language was development at Bell Labs in the early 1970’s by Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan. One of the first platforms for implementation was the PDP-11 running under a UNIX environment. Since its introduction, it has evolved and been standardized throughout the computing industry as an established development language. The PC has become a cost effective development platform using C++ or other favored versions of the ANSI standard.

The directions below will produce the RedHat (currently version 6.2 is used, 7.0 is in development) Linux system that boots into the bare (=no window manager, like gnome, kde or fvwm2) X server and starts Netscape Navigator (not Communicator, which includes Main and News clients). Upon exiting the browser the X server is restarted and the new Netscape process is launched as needed. The system is intended for Internet Kiosks and similar applications. Security is emphasized at all the stages of the setup. This HOWTO will be updated (maybe significantly) as long as more reports about the deployment of such boxes will arrive.

Everybody who wants to install a web server database but does not know which software is necessary and how it is installed should benefit from reading this text. This text provides all information necessary to get a SQL database for a web server going; it does not go into any detail of CGI programming, nor does it explain the SQL database language. Excellent books are available on both topics, and it is the intention of this text to provide a working platform based on which a user can then study CGI programming and SQL. For getting a small scale SQL system running (not the notorious example of a major airline booking system, or space mission management database) it will be sufficient to have the software described in this text and the documentation accompanying it. The user manual of msql (a database introduced in this text) provides sufficient information on SQL for building your own database.
