do you have any idea where i can get those automated ftp clients
i dont want those smartftp kind that absorb so much of my memory, i just need some background app that constantly uploads the file every minute or so
GEEZ I THOUGHT OF A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!
Maybe this can work
Well i just downloaded LFSLapper, I ran it on my server it seems to work fine no bugs, up running very well. Well i realised in the LFSLapper.cfg file there's a function to upload via FTP. I keyed in the necessary connection info and now the script is uploading that file up to my webhost! if this can happen, why not we include uploading the host69932.txt with it, that way the script doesnt need to access the file via http or ftp from my computer anymore, because the host file will only be a few folders away, and i dont have to deal with all these probs!
If this can work, can someone tell me how I can get LFSLapper to upload the host69932.txt file together with the PB.txt file into my webhost,
aand also the server script just needs to be modified a lil and it'll all be working!
I have configured the router to port forward 80 to my static ip address 192.169.1.10, i dont think the prob lies with my configuration but the isp, because my friends are able to access my computer with that link,
you couldnt reach me probably maybe because my isp is blocking port 80 incoming i've done some research it seems to be. So what should i do next
#actually some of my friends i asked to follow that link use the same isp as me, and the others use another isp. I dont know why but all of them seem to be able to view my website, seems like this works within the country or maybe te two isp open the ports(like 80) between them and not the rest of the internet that's what im thinking
Chatted with another support guy, this guy says that the script might not be running on port 80.
I dont know what port this script runs on, but I assume it runs on 80 because it's a http connection -
someone please help
i asked the support, and they mentioned that there are no restrictions on their port 80. While i was chatting with him i asked him to view the link xxxxxxxx.homedns.org/ and he said he can't connect he even tried to connect with three networks but he couldnt connect to my server and didnt see the files in my server.
My friend who's using another isp tried the link and he could get thru, he's from Singapore also. But the support guy is in US and he says he can't access my server and that port 80 is open entirely on their side and said it is probably my side which has configured wrongly. Any suggestions on how check if my isp blocked port 80?
the support says it blockes off 8888, and he said that default port 80 is the only port open for shared ips (like mine).
Now i'm gonna modify the script, get back soon, 10 mins
oh yes, and it also means the router's port forwarding is working. Port 8888
Forgot to reply one of your questions..I'm not sure if my host allows me to access ftp or http thru php, but I guess this is possible, wait let me check with the webhost, it provides live chat. So i'll ask them right away.
Thanks for the reply.
Ok, I actually asked my friend to access the link, it works perfectly and he's from another isp. That means i'm connected directly to the internet.
He gave me a screeny of the files he saw and those were the exact files i have in my pc. That means the link is definitely working. I even tried it on other computers on the lan, even tapped my neighbours connection for a while to connect and I managed.
The access log says:
192.168.1.1 - - [13/Mar/2007:15:12:49 +0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 667
everytime someone visits the thing. And there's no prob
So, the problem now lies with the script
Hmm, everything works fine. It's just that the server.php does not get the file from this pc, keeps returning:
File access error!Hostname: [url="lfs://||0|S2|/"][/url]
Status: Could not connect to the server!

My host is bluehost http://www.bluehost.com/
it supports all kinds of scripts, so I'm sure it's running,
also I have my personal forum running just to play around with the software they provided, that means php is supported.
So what do you think is the prob , can someone help
Is it because my webhost cannot access my computer in this manner?
I've filled in the required information
in the CONNECTION INFO field of the file _data_config.php and uploaded the files of the script to my website lets call it http://www.mywebsite.com/LFSPHPSCRIPT
here's how that part looks like
- I didnt want to use port 80 coz it might be restricted by my isp and i decided to use 8888 instead..
- I've configured my router to forward port 8888 to 192.168.1.10.
I'm using a static ip of 192.168.1.10.
and I've changed the lines in the Apache2.2 httpd.conf file so it is configured to grant access to LifeForSpeed folder in my computer.
- Created a Hostname xxxxxxxxxx.homedns.org with DynDNS.
- When I put xxxxxxxxxx.homedns.org:8888 into the address bar it connects to the folder in this computer where lfs is hosted and there I can see the all the files and also host63392.txt file which means the link is working. Btw i set up an internet server it's called PRO starters' Drift, which creates the "host63392.txt" file.
Up to this point is all fine? correct any problems please
continuing
So with the router stuff configured right, and with the CORRECT CONNECTION INFO entered, that means when I run the http://www.mywebsite.com/LFSPHPSCRIPT/server.php file on my website(this comes with the addon, to displays the server status like the number of players and so forth) the script should connect directly thru port 8888 to my computer, read the host63392.txt file, and output it into the server.php, so I should see the server status as online right?
But having done all these, I dont see anything.
Only an error:
File access error!Hostname: Status: Could not connect to the server!
