Problems with downloading materials

[jiska]

Odd.

yea this problem is actually kind of frustrating me.. lol. cuz it makes me thing its like your webhost or something, but really i don't know how, it allows linked downloads, which thats usually the common problem with free webhosts not working, and the files will download straight from the webserver, so really there shouldn't be any problem. and the game server should be set up right.

unless, on the computer running the game server, click start, run, and type in cmd, and then type in ping followed by the url of your webserver, maybe for some reason its not resolving the domain name right? because it should be able to get a ping, if it times out, then thats your problem.


/edit- i just tried to ping it.. and it won't work.. lol. they must have a firewall in place to not allow pinging. but you can still try that, beacause you can still see if it resolves to an ip address. after you type in ping whatever.. it should say "pinging URL [IP ADDRESS] with 32 bytes of data. so make sure the ip addresss comes up where it says ip address.

but really, they have such a firewall in place, it could be blocing the downloads, cuz it won't even let me tracert it to there domain. once it gets to there network it times out.

/edit- just to clarify, make sure when you ping, make sure its just the domain, so it would just be "ping http://www.DOMAINNAME.com" of course replacing domainname with the domain of your download source.

I actually found the problem.. In the materials directory, mcdonalds was "mcDonalds" and in the res file it was "mcdonalds". It didn't even click that the webserver was on Linux and thus case-sensative.

What a f**ker..

So did changing the case of the file names fix it?

[skeletor]

oooo yea silly linux being case sensative, windows doesn't care.. lol.
