TOPIC: Server question and error message

Server question and error message 13 Jun 2008 23:14 #105

I am new to this so am totally lost. What do I put for server information? Do I put my own url for the server or is it some other external server? The documentation for this is extremely poor. Those of us who are novices get lost in this mess very easily. You need better documentation for those of us who are novices and trying to feel our way around. Also I am getting an error message on my page. My site is at www.sptabernacle.org.
It goes like this:

404 - Component not found

J: Sorry the delay in posting. We are experiencing some difficulties with this site and are trying to work them out.

Anyway - we've been hard at work on the component itself and have not had much time to work on documentation. That will soon change so bear with us and feel free to ask questions here or directly by email.

Basically - the information in the component are pointers. You are building a url. For servers, put in www.yourserver.com. Then in the folders put in where you are putting your audio/video files like /mediafolder/ (notice the two slashes - they are important). Then when you add a media file to a study, you simply choose from the drop down the server and folder, then enter in the file name of the file you have uploaded like 1john19.mp3.

The component then builds the url in the listing pages to www.yourserver.com/mediafolder/1john19.mp3.

If the component cannot be found then it didn't install properly. I notice that you are currently reinstalling Joomla.

You can put in your own server or an external one. We have several servers that we use. The component is not making servers it is merely pointing to ones you have, either the site where you have Joomla installed, or just a media server somewhere else - it doesn't matter except when you use the upcoming upload feature - for that you can only choose servers/folders that are where the Bible Study component is installed.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us directly with more questions from the link on the main menu.
