If you want to increase the download counters when files are downloaded via www
you must make sure that the web logs the downloads to a <b>access_log</b>
file, for example /var/log/apache/access_log.
This logfile must be readable by user mbse and must be in <b>combined</b>
format. You can set this in your apache configuration file.
Then in <b>mbsetup</b> menu 1.13.4 enter full filename and path to this logfile.
The <b>mball</b> program will parse this file and increase the download counters
for the files that are downloaded from the webserver.
