@Willy can you check all the stats for the project DENIS you are importing?
According to a shout box message here from [VENETO] sabayonino:
Single team stats is updated www.boincstats.com/stats/160/team/detail/1125/charts Team list records show 0cr


Since the DENIS ADMINS have decided to make "hidden" all the STATS FOLDER & FILES on the project server for "security reasons*" there is no way for the users to see what the time stamps & content are on the STATS FILES with out downloading them individually and unzipping them and examine their contents...

@Willy, By the way, what kind of "security issue" (if any) MAKES HIDING the stats folder & files necessary?
I know some projects require a username & password to prevent scraping of stats, but in my 20+ years of using BOINC I have never seen a project hide the stats folder and/or files.
I suspect this goes back a simple misunderstanding of the DENIS project admins of what someone posted a while back HERE:
The response from Willie the Admin of BOINCStat's regarding the format of the DENIS Stat's Export.

It's a good idea to hide "Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at denis.usj.es Port 443" in your Apache config, it gives hackers information about your server which you don't want to share.

Stats are importing properly. If something is wrong please provide a bit more information about what is wrong. I'm not going to compare numbers from all users and teams.

The system is designed in this way, tables.xml is used to check update times.

I'm not suggesting to hide the folder. That won't do any good. Preventing folder listing is a good idea though. If you're not doing this and you forget a index.php or index.html in a folder then all contents is shown. Best practice is to prevent folder listing site-wide. An exception could be made for the stats folder. For me it doesn't matter.
Not showing which server software you are running, per my suggestion, is a good idea.

Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.
