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://yourdomain.com/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>,
<MvHIDE>, <MvEXIT>, <MvCOMMENT>, <MvFUNCTION>,
<MvMAIL>, <MvOPEN>, <MvCLOSE>, <MvFIND>,
<MvSKIP>, <MvGO>, <MvADD>, <MvUPDATE>,
<MvDELETE>, <MvUNDELETE>, <MvMAKEINDEX>,
<MvSETINDEX>, <MvREINDEX>, <MvPACK>, <MvPRIMARY>,

If you wish to to have a Majordomo listserver activated, email us and tell us the name you would like, be sure to check with sales for pricing. Make sure it has a different name than the name of your domain. For instance if your domain was fredhappy.com, you might want to ask for fredhappydomo.
Once we have set up your Majordomo listserver, you can get help by sending email to majordomo@yourdomain.com. On the first line of your email, just type the word HELP. You will be sent a general help file. If you want more detailed instructions on using Majordomo, you can email:
For full instructions Domo@safe-order.net
Another great resource for Majordomo information is:

Opening an Existing Web
Getting error - "Root Web Busy"
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.
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!
Consider purchasing The CGI/Perl Cookbook by Craig
Patchett and Matthew Wright ($49.99, 656 pages, Wiley Computer Publishing,
October, 1997, ISBN 0471168963, Paper/CD-ROM). It is an excellent resource
for those of you interested in learning CGI scripting.

After you have built your html documents and
are ready to upload them to our server:
1. Open the web you've created on your PC using FP Explorer.
2. Choose File > Publish
3. If your "Destination Web Server" doesn't appear in the Publish window
(it won't the first time you publish to our server)
CHOOSE "More Webs" and type the location of the web to publish to. Hit
return.
IMPORTANT: Use www.yourdomain.com as the Destination Web
Server to publish to our server.
Leave the "Destination Web Name" BLANK.
4. You will be asked for your USERNAME and PASSWORD. This is your domain's
USERNAME and your FrontPage PASSWORD (which may be dfferent than your regular
telnet/ftp/POP password). If you're not sure what it is or if you aren't
allowed past this point, you'll need to contact us for a new FP password.
5. You can watch the progression of the upload by looking at the bottom left
corner of FP
Explorer.
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
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.
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.
