Does anyone know what kind of file is counter.log is?

Recently, I typed a visitor counter with a constant but the file was not allow to run on brinkster (a free hosting site) because of this file: counter.log. my asp experience is weak. So when I see an error message; I don’t understand why. All I can get out of the message is that the program will not run because of this file:counter.log
would someone please tell me why would have difficulties running this file or what kind file I’m working with.

    I found info that may be useful. It may be a Microsoft counter log for performance and connection attempts. Look at the below link for this info.

    It’s a text file, I’m sure. Most likely, the error you are getting is not related to the file; it’s because the file is not writeable, so the counter cannot be updated.

    Whenever you have a Web script that wants to write data to a file, that file needs to have write permissions set to be writeable by the anonymous Web user account, the ASP.NET worker process (in ASP.NET), the authenticated user (when you use Web authentication, such as membership sites use) or Everyone (a generic Windows user group that means, as the name implies, anyone).

    How you set the file to be writeable is up to the Web host. Ask Brinkster tech support how to set the counter.log file to be writeable by everyone.
