Help Setting up webserver

[Solosid]

Hi All,

I have a domain name, hosting and would like to set up a webserver

I have tried reading the Girder help and I am starting to understand a little

My question is this

My Host PC Ip address is a very commonly used ip 192.168.1....

how will it know to direct to my PC?

cheers

First off Girder needs to be on an IP address that is accessible from the internet. This probably means that you have to setup port forwarding on your router to your 192.168.x.y address. Once you have that you can point your domain at the external ip of your internet connection, assuming you have an fixed ip.

[Solosid]

I did have a fixed IP on sign up 7 years ago but have never checked it remains the same

so basically

fixed ip for BB
port forwarding from router to 'master'

which would mean...

i enter www. in browser
domain server points to hosting
hosting site points to fixed IP

website hosted on hosting site (or can this be my pc)


cheers

[Ron]

Oh I see you'd like to keep the hosting in the loop that is possible.

Simply either do a forward to your IP address in one of the many ways that can be done, however your browser will show http://64.34.22.65 for your url.

A perhaps neater way is to use frames.

[Solosid]

I don't mind dropping the hosting (its only free hosting)

Can I point the dns to my ip address?

Frames?? in NRD??


Cheers

[Ron]

;-) no, HTML frames (look it up)

Depending on who you registered your domain with you'll have more or less control over how your domain works. Typically you should be able to do this though.

[Solosid]

I have just checked my Domain hosting site and I can forward to..

http://........

so I guess I can put my fixed ip in here followed by port

eg http://82.83.84.85:80

in the webserver insert port 80

and set the http root to the web files...

does that sound about right in 'layman's terms...


I can also mask the http request


cheers

Mark

[Ron]

that is perfect (note that masking does the frames thing I mentioned before so that is great).

[Solosid]

right I have got the www.(.......) to the Promixis Girder Webserver Access page

so now I have to design my web pages using HTTP...like in frontpage or similar

and change the root HTTP

is there any uploaded examples of how you can control equipment etc??


cheers

Mark

[Ron]

Cool!

The manual has some stuff in it and beyond that the existing html documents have examples as well.

you can use frontpage to develop these pages now yes! Just tell whatever program you are using that .lhtml is just another html page.

cheers

Mark

[Solosid]

Hi All,

Can anybody tell me how to show zones from Jrmc in the web-browser

Cheers

Mark

[Solosid]

Hi Ron/Rob

how do I add JRMC zones to the webserver home page.
I have looked at the...

Settings/Device Manager/Devices

and see all the other items displayed listed but dont know how to add or edit the list?


Cheers

Mark

[Solosid]

Hi All,

can anybody help?

cheers

[harleydude]

What information are you wanting to show?

[Solosid]

Hi

I want tobe able to control the zones of JRMC in the webserver...

eg swap to Master Bedroom, Kitchen, Garden etc

I have noticed that in the Device manager it is set to zone 1 as default


Cheers

Mark

[harleydude]

Not sure I can help with that one. I started the MediaBridge component on my setup and it does not appear to have knowledge of my 2 zones setup.

[harleydude]

Played around a bit more and came up with this.


local mb = ComponentManager:GetComponentUsingName('MediaBridg e')
local inst = mb:GetInstance({Name = 'Local'})
inst:SetCurrentZoneNumber(2)


Change the 'Local' to match the name you assigned in the Component Manager for MediaBridge.

Hi Rick,

Where do I insert that code?

what I'm finding hard to grasp is how or where the information that is seen in the 'webpage' is stored or retrieved?

cheers

You will actually need two files. Refer to the post below for more info.

One file will be used to display the various pieces of data the other will be the control file. The above example shows the basics of how things will work, the specifics we will need to work out.

Thanks Rick,

I've been following that post and testing some options, I have got the buttons working by dragging them onto existing actions

if you manage to show and control the zones of JRMC I'd wouldnt mind having a look.

in the mean time I keep trying to learn...

Cheers
