Google analytics; Short setup Q

Question

I have just added the code to my index.html and uploaded the file. But Google Analytics Status says the code is not installed (not found).

I have a VPS (own server) which I manage myself.

Thing is, in my case, I have a setup like this:

  IP adress at a VPS provider
  Domain name at an ISP
  A-Pointer to point my domain to my IP adress

I am still learning so if somebody could explain if I need to setup GA in a special way for it to work I would appreciate it.

Currently in the section where you chose what type of code you want, I chose "standard, for a domain". But there are other options as well (for subdomains, top-domains etc)...

Hope somebody knows how to set it up. Thanks

PS: I have apache authentication on my website currently, but I don't think this is interferring or is it?

Answer 1

If you just added the code Google will say that, it takes time. Give it a day and if it still says that then i would start worrying.

Answer 2

Google can't see your pages if they require authentication.
