I'm working on a site, it workes fine offline, it workes fine hosted here, i loaded it onto a *nix server at college n the flash into doesn't load, n one of the background images on the main page doesn't display properly.

Any ideas?

Far as I know, the boards member pages are hosted on *nix too (FreeBSD to be precise). How about posting some source code, or a URL, or anything at all? (Cute chix phone numbers are always cool.

Just in case I'm wrong, and the members pages are still hosted on the Windows machine (the URL says different), what about case sensitivity? Windows is case-insensitive, whereas *nix is case sensitive. Therefore, if you have an image called image1.gif and you call it Image1.gif in Windows it will load; whereas it won't in *nix. But you knew that, didn't you?

yes i did

and although i know the links above point to i:\[filename] all the images are in the same directory so that shouldn't be an issue either. i'll try it on another machine n see what happens

azezil · 19-03-2002 1:54pm

if ya look at the attachment u'll see what i'm talkin about...the image in the top corner "corner.gif" isn't fully loaded for some reason.

I'm betting it's a transfer problem. See the way the image is partially loaded? Transfer was either interrupted, or you uploaded in ASCII format.

Where's my pint?

ya i think it was,, how would that effect it?

azezil · 19-03-2002 2:38pm

i converted the image to a jpg n that sorted out that problem but the flash still doesn't load.... could that be the same problem, ascii?

dahamsta · 19-03-2002 2:46pm

Google will answer that far better than I could.

Well, as it happens, if you'd opened the file and saved it again, or possibly even uploaded it again, it might have fixed the problem, but it will happen again unless you upload binary files in binary mode.

but the flash still doesn't load.... could that be the same problem, ascii?

Most likely. Anything binary - images, movies, flash, exe's, etc; need to be uploaded in binary mode. Anything textual - txt, htm, ini, etc; need to be uploaded in ASCII mode. Your FTP client (or WYSIWYG editor) should handle most filetypes automatically. If you're using a command-line client though, it's an easy to make a mistake.

dahamsta · 19-03-2002 8:02pm

Doesn't matter mate, you circumvented the swf file. Macromedia will set the BSA on your ass. Bad little boy. *thwop*
