I have seen this occasionally in the block code when someone has some off the wall address as the referer. The only way I know to fix it is to go into the database and delete the offending entry. If you have the new version you can go into config.php and turn off the referer section for a day. After that it will not bother you until you try to get some reports.

I hit this problem because of the daily digest script. I fixed it by going into the visitor stats admin page and adding the following to the list of pages not captured:

/path/to/geeklog/emailgeeklogstories

Replace "/path/to/geeklog" with the actual file path to the location of your geeklog's emailgeeklogstories script.

FYI: Had this issue during upgrade of Gallery to 1.5rc2 (on GL 1.3.11)... by default the gallery config script turns off register_globals using the automatically created local .htaccess file. (Manually turning on register_globals in the gallery config.php eliminated the problem.)

Perhaps mine and the previous cases in this thread have in common the fact that somehow the ip address is not available to the script despite being globally available?

I am running GL version 1.3.8 on an X-Server with OSX 10.2.8. It was running fine until the Apple Security Update 2005-001 was installed yesterday. The update 'fixes' PHP... now this error message appears on each web page. Also, cannot get past the first page of any item. I have tried to get to the STATS Admin page via the Plugins, and I get the first window, but cannot open it, by clicking on the number, so that the STATS plugin can be turned off. If I go to the Admin Home | Visitors Stats, then I get the button 'turn capture off', but nothing happens. Is there another way to shut off the STATS plugin? I inherited this, and don't drive well in the Apple/Linux/PHP world, so please be gentle :-)

If you can't disable the plugin through the interface, you can change the plugins table in the database directly. In the gl_plugins table, find the entry with 'pi_name' stats and change 'pi_enabled' from 1 to 0.
