Your absolute path is incorrect.

Your server's default error reporting level is too high. When I released this script a long time ago I forgot to add in custom error settings for such servers.

Open up counter.php:

On the very first line of the file, replace:
<?php

with:
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

First off, the troubleshooting from the readme.txt file:
-Problem: My counter isn't showing up, instead it shows up as <?php include("counter.php"); ?>.
--Solution: Ensure that your page is a php page (.php) and that php is available on your server.

If that isn't the problem then you are welcome to PM me your ftp information and I can take a look for myself.

I am also receiving the same error in the first post, but it seems that it doesn't work. It's in the root folder and then in a 'counter' folder. I've been setting it to either 'counter/' and '/counter/' but neither of them work. And abs.php says that it can't figure out the absolute path.

Do this:

Modify counter.php's absolute path setting to look like this:

$OPTION['Absolute_Path'] = dirname(__FILE__) . "/";

Problem solved.

Now the script is saying that it's a bad absolute path. When I make the script show where the absolute path is, it shows it from my main server, not the subdomain I'm using. Would having the site as a subdomain stop this from working? I've tried putting the URL to the folder in it but then it gives an error that there's a 404 error with a message at the top that says that it "cannot instantiate non-existent class: main_database."

Your problem is simply that your absolute path is incorrect.

Being a webmaster, you should know what your absolute path is (you could also ask your webhost).

If all else fails, just look at php info:

<? phpinfo(); ?>
