Map download over HTTP

(STALAG13Hogan) #1

Hello Folks,
i have a question bout the HTTP Download.

my actual config looks like this


// DL, RATE

set sv_maxRate "13000"				 
set sv_dl_maxRate "42000"			 
set sv_allowDownload "1"        	
set sv_wwwDownload "1"				
set sv_wwwBaseURL "www.stalag13-clan.net" 				
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"			
set sv_wwwFallbackURL "www.stalag13-clan.net/Downloads/ETMaps/"

but everytime i connect to my server no maps were downloaded ?
The maps are uploaded in the right directory but the client refuses to download them.
plz help. ehhm and is the rate ok ? if a http dl is possible the dl-rate schould be around 80 k/sec.

thx Hogan

ok, 1 thing about the ET dl system is that the http host must have the correct file structure.
so looking at your config, all maps must be located at http://www.stalag13-clan.net/etmain/ and any etpro stuff at http://www.stalag13-clan.net/etpro/
i suspect youve not done this.

So basic rule is, whatever sv_wwwBaseURL is must be a parent directory to etmain and any mod folders.

also, i think that the trailing / on sv_wwwFallbackURL is not needed, although i may be wrong

and add “http://” in front of it.

Both of you afaik are server admins, would probs be easier if you did a quick paste of one of your server configs? :o

i could, but its probably the file structure on the web server if not the http bit being missing, which isnt anything to do with cfg’s

ok my cfg loks like this now :


// DL, RATE

set sv_maxRate "13000"				 
set sv_dl_maxRate "100000"			 
set sv_allowDownload "1"        	
set sv_wwwDownload "1"				
set sv_wwwBaseURL "www.stalag13-clan.net" 				
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"			
set sv_wwwFallbackURL "www.stalag13-clan.net"

and i copied the maps in the etmain-folder on my webspace ( www.stalag13-clan.net/etmain ) and the et-pro things in etpro ( www.stalag13-clan.net/etpro )
should work, or ?
ahh i chmoded the dirs to 755 i think.

hmm not working so far :((((((
hmm maybe it’s wrong chmoded ?
( dirs are 755 files are 644 )
but it’s still not working

set “http://” in front of sv_wwwBaseURL and delete a map file on your local pc to test…

(BSDman) #10

(STALAG13Hogan) #11

if you’re running an apache webserver also make sure the permissions for the dirs in there are set correctly.

alternatively drop a .htaccess file like this in your (www) etmain & etpro dirs:

Options +Indexes

note that from a security pov it is best to set permissions in your httpd.conf file
