Real Audio/Real Video
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, which is found in your www directory.
Important: .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

Extensions supported through the secure server?

FrontPage98?

extensions work on my account?

Extensions?
- 8. What are FrontPage
2000 Server Extensions?
-
- 1. Why do I get an Internal Server
Error when trying to publish to my website? -
Top
- There are a number of reasons this can
happen, usually a reinstallation of the extensions will solve the
problem. You should contact support@samsilverhawk.com
when this occurs.
-
- 2. How do I publish with FrontPage?
-
Top
- After you have built your web pages on
your computer, you will be ready to publish them. Basically, this
just means that you will upload them to our server. Once this is
done, your pages will be viewable from the web. However, you must do
this in the following manner. Warning: FrontPage Account holders
should never use FTP to transfer files as it can damage the
FrontPage extensions.
- Launch FrontPage Explorer and open
the web you’ve created on your computer.
- From the menu at the top of the
window, select File, then Publish
- A) If this is the first time you
publish to our server, select More Webs and enter the location
you want to publish your FrontPage web to. (www.yourdomain.com)
Hit Return (Enter) on your keyboard.
B) If you have published to the server before, your
"Destination Web Server" (www.yourdomain.com) will
appear in the Publish window.
IMPORTANT: Use www.yourdomain.com
as the Destination Web Server
to publish to our server. Leave the
"Destination Web Name" blank.
- You will be asked for your
USERNAME and PASSWORD. This is your domain's User ID and your
FrontPage Password (which may be different 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 FrontPage password.
- You can watch the progression of
the upload by looking at the bottom left corner of FrontPage
Explorer.
-
- 3. Our FrontPage Extensions
supported through the secure server? -
Top
- No, you will not be able to call the
FrontPage forms through the secure server. We do offer a easy to use
wizard that uses formmail.cgi which will allow you to easily convert
a FrontPage form to a standard one compatible with our secure
servers.
-
- 4. Do you support FrontPage98?
-
Top
- Yes, The FrontPage 2000 extensions are
backward compatible.
-
- 5. Why does FrontPage seem to hang
and even time out when establishing a connection? -
Top
- There are a number of reasons why
FrontPage hangs, the biggest reason is related to the amount of data
in your WWW directory, both in size and number of files/directories.
The more files/directories and size of data, the longer it will take
FrontPage to log in. Large amounts of data (> 50MB) or a large
number of files or directories ( > 500) can cause FrontPage to severely
hang and even timeout. If there are connectivity problems between
your ISP and our Servers, then this can also lead to FrontPage
hanging badly or even timing out. When you have these problems we
recommend creating a number smaller subwebs to break your website up
so it does not take FrontPage as long to run through its
configuration or recalculate links.
-
- 6. Will all the FrontPage
extensions work on my account? -
Top
- All the standard extensions FrontPage
offers will work on your domain. You will not be able to use the ASP
or Microsoft Access database integration at this time. Though they
are now offered as easily integrated languages within the FrontPage
program, they are not part of the server extensions and require separate
software to work properly.
-
- 7. How do I get FrontPage
Extensions? -
Top
- When you signed up for your account
you were given the option. If you recently decided to use them just
contact support@samsilverhawk.com
and ask they be installed. There is no charge for this service.
-
- 8. What are FrontPage 2000 Server
Extensions? -
Top
- FrontPage Extensions are CGI programs
which provide the server side implementation of FrontPage. The
extensions allow your local computer to properly communicate with
your domain through the http protocol using (RPC).
