[01:01:26] <bd808>	 guerd87: it looks to me like it should work automatically. The only feature flag is $wgDisableCounters which is false (meaning counters are enabled) by default. That footer data is added by a hook (<https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-HitCounters/blob/master/includes/HitCounters.hooks.php#L133-L171>)
[05:15:02] <guerd87>	 bd808, its strange but I got it working. If dont include $wgDisableCounters in localsettings.php the counters dont work. If i include it like $wgDisableCounters = "flase"; it doesnt work. If I comment it out //$wgDisableCounters = "flase"; it works fine
[05:15:46] <guerd87>	 so im not not quite sure why or how that works - But as of now its working fine
[05:17:19] <p858snake>	 do you have a cache system setup for your page displays?
[06:00:14] <guerd87>	 p858snake, not to sure. this is a pretty much stock install except for the hit counter
[19:37:53] <Remilia>	 guerd87: commenting out is the same as not having that line at all, and false is spelt false, otherwise you would get a run-time error when something expects bool. in your case, you probably use php-fpm and it was simply using the old version of LocalSettings.php
[19:38:17] <Remilia>	 then the child processes expired and it started working
[22:31:02] <guerd87>	 Remilia, just checked in the file and I did actually spell it correctly as false, I just mispelt it here. 
[22:31:19] <guerd87>	 thats possibly what has happened
