Turbo50Mike Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 Ok. Another noob question: I uploaded a video to my public_html images folder. I get the http location by clicking on properties, but when I try and link the video from other websites I get a message that the Internet Explorer cannot open this site. http://66.235.184.119:2082/frontend/x/file...Pro1Qualify.wmv Usually I would right click - save as, but it seems like it's no good. Do I need to change the permissions for that file in order to access it? TIA, MJB Quote
boxturt Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 This is similar to the image situation you had in a previous post. Your current link should be : h**p://66.235.184.119/~qewselwv/images/Pro1Qualify.wmv Then it should work as you predict. Quote
Turbo50Mike Posted May 24, 2004 Author Posted May 24, 2004 Ok. Then, what do I keep doing wrong. When I get the properties for the file it gives me the /frontend/x/.... file, where did you get the /~qewselwv/images.... one from???? Quote
LisaJill Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 The information you're getting is from the file manager in control panel, it looks like. That's simply a way to manage, not to view; plus it's private, password protected. The information for viewing was in your welcome email. It's the ip of the server /~username. Until you have a domain hosted here. =) Does that help explain it? Quote
boxturt Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 The link you posted (and are trying to work with?) is the link to access your cpanel. The one I posted is a normal working link (for now) until your regular domain name propogates across the system. Quote
Turbo50Mike Posted May 24, 2004 Author Posted May 24, 2004 The information for viewing was in your welcome email. It's the ip of the server /~username. Does that help explain it? Oh. Was I supposed to read that e-mail?? Quote
LisaJill Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 *grins at Mike* This is where I pull out the supersoaker 4000, but I don't want ta scare ya off. Quote
Turbo50Mike Posted May 24, 2004 Author Posted May 24, 2004 Well, I think I finally got it figured out. So all you very helpful folk can probably cut me loose until I'm ready to actually make a website. But let me give this site a BIG thumbs-up for the IMMEDIATE help. Makes me glad I decided to get the hosting done here, and I will be sure to tell all my friends about the good service. Thanks again... MJB Quote
LisaJill Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 O'course! Glad to have ya as part of our family. =) Quote
