    TM3 is such a bitch to set up

    1) The direct-cgi bin method doesn't work with php files.
    2) My site's index files are php files. I include the content through php inclusions. So I enabled SSI for .html files, put the TM3 execution code on the page, but it's not working when I call the index page. Only when I open the page with the code directly, the traffic is tracked.
    3) Renaming the index files to .shtml will not work, because the php will not get parsed.

    I've tried about anything. My index pages need to be php, so I can't make changes there.
    The only thing left that I see is to create a new index file, put a frameset in it that covers the whole browser area and put the TM3 code in this index. -> not very good for the search engines.

    Has anyone else had these problems with TM3?

      Yes, but you have to do the setup yourself.

          Nope. I get "virtual() [function.virtual]: Unable to include '../cgi-bin/tm3/m' - request execution failed" when I try to include it like that.

          I even tried to include in another way (using ob_start, require, ob_get_contents and ob_end_clean), but it didn't work, either.
