Get-Shorty: free script similar to tinyurl

Posted in » Scripts - by Ades on April 21st, 2007

Have you used TinyUrl.com to shorten long URLs? Shorty is a similar script that you can install on your server and shorten those long urls under your own domain name.

You can test the demo here get-shorty.com/live and download the script itself here get-shorty.com/

    Check out: http://traceurl.com

    TraceURL shortens any URL plus it tracks traffic to the page through the TraceURL shortened web site address, showing where the traffic originated. This can be a useful tool for anyone trying to track which promotional tactics are working the best. Count accesses and have the origin of the visitor displayed on a Google Map.

    Is there some guide on how to install it. Being a newbie, much of what is contained in the guide is pretty hard to understand.

    But this is a great resource

    I couldnt get this to work. Everything loads up ok and functions within the system, but the short URL’s dont actually work. This script hasnt been updated in forever, I am running newer PHP5, not sure if that is causing the problem. Would be nice to see this updated, as it seems very cool but its just beta. Sad.

    I have the same problems as Daniel.
    When I create a shorty
    for example http://www.zd.se/idg
    i got the following error message when I write it in a browser:

    Not Found
    The requested URL /www/webvol2/x9/14g0ihhhktan6qo/zd.se/public_html/forward.php was not found on this server.

    Apache/1.3.41 Server at http://www.zd.se Port 80

    It seems like my webhotel interprets the rewrite to the whole path

    /www/webvol2/x9/14g0ihhhktan6qo/zd.se/public_html/forward.php

    not only to

    http://www.zd.se/forward

    Can I change the .htaccess or something else to get this work?
