You did not say exactly what you typed, so it is hard to see what the
problem is, though the error message suggests that you mis-specified
the family for a fractional logit. The exact syntax for two of the
suggestions are illustrated below.
*------------------- begin example ---------------------------
use http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c/citybudget.dta, clear
// betafit
ssc install betafit
betafit governing, mu(noleft minorityleft houseval popdens)
// fractional logit
glm governing noleft minorityleft houseval popdens, ///
family(binomial) link(logit) robust
*------------------------ end example ------------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
