I don't know if this is some sort of bug, or just me being confused. But when I check my server statistics I get these numbers:
My server (and Abyss) have been running for around 50 days now. So...why does it say that I only have 1 day of uptime? The other numbers are correct though. For example, the output is at about 2gb, how could I possible accomplish that on one day with a server on a 0,5 mbits connection? :)
Last time I checked (around 1-2 weeks ago), it showed the right amount of uptime.
So...what's up?

Have you restarted your server?
Also, Abyss may have crashed and you never knew it, because it restarts itself.

I haven't restarted Abyss for about a week. And even if Abyss is restarted, that doesn't reset the server uptime-thingie. The quick restart you make after you've changed the configuration never has for me, anyway. It only resets when you close down Abyss completely and then restart it, I think.
And even if it was reset somehow (like a crash), that doesn't explain the output. It could NEVER reach 2gb in just a day. Not a chance. That's more like 50 days worth of output for my server. So in that case, is it just the "server uptime"-section of the statistics that gets reset? That sounds odd.

Yes, that is pretty wierd.
I'de email Aprelium about it, or post about it in "Bug Reports."
Furthermore, I've never trusted those stats anyways. I always use WebLog Expert or something similar.

| I doubt it this would affect it that much, but is the clock on your computer correct. |

Fairly correct. It's off by like...4 minutes or something.

Exterus,
Glad to know that someone did the ultimate test: running the server for more than 50 days!
Let's explain the problem: the uptime counter is a 32 bit integer that sotres the elapsed time in milliseconds (since the server launch).
Knowning that a day contains 86400000 ms, this counter will be reset after 2^32/86400000 = 49.71 days!
In the next version, this counter will be a 64bit integer so it won't be reset before 585,000,000 years :-)

Ha! That's pretty interesting.
Why was it stored in milliseconds in the first place?
I've seen scripts able to store in seconds; is C not able to store anything bigger than milliseconds?

Hehe. Glad to know it wasn't a bug at least.. All right then, I'm looking forward to the next version even more now. :)

Until then, may I suggest WebLog Expert to analyze logs. Also, if you just want to see your total server uptime, either download a copy of ZPanel, or just click on your network connection if you're using Windows XP (assuming Abyss has been on the entire time your internet has been on).

Thanks for the tips. :) But I already run awstats, and I'm very satisified with that. Although I have to clear my logfile soon. It's 166mb large, and it takes forever to analyze it.
And the machine runs Windows NT4 Server, so I'll just check the uptime via the Task Manager --> Processes --> System Idle Process if I need to know.

This isn't related to C: Abyss uses milliseconds as its internal time unit.

Perhaps this should be in the 2.0beta forum but...
Anyway, how comes that AWS (2.0.0.8beta1) doesn't reset it's statistics?
Currently I've got
Total Uptime: 3:16:43:18 Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds
Total Hits: 5636
Error Hits: 354
HTML Hits: 2183
Image Hits: 1991
Not Modified Hits: 923
Transferred Data: 1035486 KB
That's nice and all, but the whole computer has been running for only 13 minutes at this moment, and AWS 2 has been installed longer than 3 days (so I guess it's not a "stats since install" thing)...

CyberRax,
Version 2.0 doesn't reset the statistics when you stop the server. So if you install the server and run it for 1 hour every day; the 7th day, the statistics will show 7 hours of uptime.

Reminds me of a certain windows 95 bug... ;)
