We provide your choice of Java Chat programs
for use on your domain. Extra charges apply for use of this feature. See
our fee schedule for pricing. If you have applied for basic Java Chat, look
on your website for a chat directory. It will already be configured for
your server. To join the chat, with your browser, go to:
http://www.yourdomain.com/chat
The page can be customized, but leave all the
tags alone that have to do with <APPLET
CODE>.
These rooms are capable of upto 20 users at one time.
Real Audio or Real Audio/Video is available
for an extra charge. See our fee schedule for details.
Real Audio is a real time audio transmission/player
system. A digital audio stream is transmitted from the server over the Internet
to the destination and played immediately, rather than being stored to disk
first and then played.
Each audio clip requires two files: a metafile
with extension .ram, and the digital audio clip itself, with extension .ra.
The .ram file holds one or more lines of ASCII
text, each of which references the .ra file to be played when the .ram file
is accessed by the browser.
Entries in .ram files have the form:
pnm://machine.host4u.net/yourdomain/name-of-clip.ra
Place your .ram and .ra files in the realaudio
subdirectory under your web directory. Remember that .ram files must be
uploaded in ASCII mode while .ra files must be uploaded in BINARY mode.
You may then access these files via a web browser at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/realaudio/file.ram
Miva makes building dynamic, data driven web
pages as easy as HTML. You can quickly develop interactive web pages that
are 100% browser independent. Miva runs on the web server, interprets the
Miva tags and outputs pure HTML to the browser. You can also use Miva to
output Javascript and other browser languages, and use the built-in database
to easily manipulate and publish data.
Full documentation and usage support for HTML Script can
be found at http://htmlscript.com/.
Miva offers a variety of features and you should visit their site for more
information.
We are running version 3.0 of HTML Script.
The following is what you will need to know for use on your domain.
The script being called is "miva",
which is in your cgi-bin. The active pages (pages with .hts or .mv) need
to be placed in your root www directory, not in subdirectories. A sample
URL call for this would be as follows:
http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/miva?yourpage.mv
HTMLSCRIPT has a variety of pre configured products that require path information
we have preconfigured miva to automatically look into the /home/domain/htsdata directory for data files, If data is placed in this directory a example call would be as follows
EXAMPLE.
<export file="file.dat">
To call Htmlscript thru the secure server use the following:
https://machine.safe-order.net/cgi-bin/smiva?yourdomain/yourpage.mv
Machine should be replaced with the name of the system your on, ie pan, artemis, osirus, ect . . .
More On The Miva Engine.
The Miva Engine makes building dynamic
web sites as easy as writing HTML. Quickly develop server
and browser independent dynamic sites using the XML standard.
Dynamic sites that integrate scripting, database, and commerce
can be developed and tested on a Microsoft workstation and
deployed on Microsoft or Unix servers.
| SUPPORTED STANDARDS | |||
| HTML | SGML | XML | HTTP |
| POP3 | SMTP | ISAPI | CGI |
| NSAPI | UNIX | WINDOWS | JAVA |
| ODBC | xBASE | APACHE | JAVASCRIPT |
Miva runs as a pre-processor on the web server,
interprets the Miva tags and outputs standard HTML,
XML, Javascript, and other user interface code to the browser.
Use the built-in database and ODBC interfaces to easily
manipulate and publish data. Anyone that knows HTML can
use Miva.
Miva (Htmlscript 3.0) tags are XML compliant
and include:
<MvEVALUATE>,
<MvIF>,
<MvELSE>,
<MvWHILE>,
<MvEXPORT>,
<MvIMPORT>,
<MvCOMMERCE>,
<MvLET>,
<MvASSIGN>,
<MvCALL>,

Opening an Existing Web
1. Open FP Explorer and choose File > Open Front Page Web.
2. You can now choose to open a previously created web on your PC or your web on our server.
3. Highlight the appropriate web or type in the web address (www.yourdomain.com) and click OK.
4. Enter your USERNAME and FP PASSWORD if required.
5. Make modifications and recalculate links if needed. (See FP help docs for info on when it's neccessary to recalculate links.
Troubleshooting Common Problems with FP98
Getting error - "Root Web Busy"
FTP or telnet to your site and remove the "service.lck" file in /www/_vti_pvt. This usually happens when an FP session is interrupted before completion.
Server timing out when publishing large sites.
This difficulty arises when the uploading link times out in the process of copying the web to our server. The only suggestion Microsoft has offered so far is to break the main web into a group of sub webs on your PC, then
upload
these individually. If this problem persists for you, please contact support.
Getting Error - "Front Page Extensions not Installed" I published but my web's not there! My search bot doesn't return any results. FP starts the Web Publishing Wizard when I try to publish. Why is my page renamed on the server when I publish? NOTE: If you are using FrontPage, you should
NEVER use regular FTP to upload your files. This will damage the extensions.
Stick with one or the other all the time.
We often see this error being reported even when the extensions have been installed. If you
get this error, please contact support and we'll make sure the extensions are installed and repair them if necessary.
NOTE: The extensions are easily corrupted. Please use only FP Explorer to update your web site on the server, not FTP.
This will happen when the "Destination Web Name" is filled in when publishing to our server.
This box should be left blank. If you put any other name in this box it will create a subdirectory
off of your root web and copy all of your files into it. Your site will exist under a subdirectory
instead of at the top level /www where it should be.
My counter, bbs, guestbook, etc isn't working.
These problems are generally due to incorrect permissions on either the directory, file(s) or cgi script(s) that are associated with them. Please
don't change the permissions of your files or directories unless you have a specific reason for doing so and you know what effect it will have on your site.
My forms won't work through the Secure Server.
The call to a cgi script using the Secure Server must not be within a webbot. Use a normal cgi call in your html script for Secure Server calls.
The /www directory must be world readable AND you need to recalculate links BEFORE publishing (or after editing directly on the server). If it still doesn't work: FTP to
the server and go to the /www/_vti_txt/default.wti directory. Delete any files that begin with "ALL.". Don't delete any other files. Then using
Windows Explorer, do the same thing on your PC. Recalculate links, test locally with your browser and publish.
Cancel the operation and contact support to have the FP extensions installed/repaired.
The "Default Document" of your web is automatically renamed by the server to what is required by the configuration of the server. For example, if you've named the main page "index.html", it may be
renamed "default.html". Just check the links to your main page to make sure they refer to it the same way.
If you have asked for additional POP/FTP/Telnet
accesses on your domain, the users of these additional accounts can access
the server via FTP, Telnet, and Email with the following parameters:
Hostname: yourdomain.com
Username: their unique username
Password: their unique password
POP Account: their unique username@yourdomain.com
SMTP Server: yourdomain.com
When they login via FTP or Telnet, they will be taken to their directory, where they will see their own www directory

Some of the text referring to CGI scripts was
taken directly or adapted for our use from ReadMe files provided by the
script designers. Many thanks to the folks at Matt's Script Archives for
their excellent documentation! Please support Matt's Scripts by visiting
http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/. Their scripts are free, but that
doesn't mean they are cheap. Much time went into the development of each
script and Matt is one of the best scripters around!
