Questions

So it was late one night on early December me and a few other baseball lovers found ootp4 and decided to start an online league. I purchased by month bravenet for a server. After making a pretty nice site and gathering 28 other GM's i figured well it will be pretty easy to upload and export all that stuff to my site. Well boy was I WRONG. The standings page seems to come up just fine but when u want to click on a team, or free agents, the link says C:/leaguesiteteam8.htm instead of what it should say www.theblm.bravepages.team8.htm. See, I can only see the stuff because when I upload it, it for some reason dosent turn into the internet. And when I try to use ws ftp or ootp4 ftp it says timed out timed out. I really am stuck and looking for help

Lefty... weren't you using Dreamweaver or some other program in there somewhere? I am almost wondering if the program is changing all of the links. When you showed me the sight, the league.htm page was up there, but every embedded link on that page aimed to C:\ (as you said in your post).

On WS_FTP, email Bravenet. Ask them how you should have WS_FTP configured to upload files to your site. They wil be able to give you exactly what you need. It should only take a day or two to hear back from them. Once you have the right address to FTP to, WS_FTP works very easily.

That still doesn't solve the problem of your league.htm page directing everything to the hardrive... which has me puzzled.

Detail what exactly you do from creation of the web pages to attempting the upload. Be very specific. Someone will see what it is that is causing the problem. I guarantee it. Very knowledgable folk around here.

OK well the destination folder is c:leaguesite ...i click on generate report...and then it says complete and the file is league.htm . . I then go into dearch and type in league.htm and then i click on it and save it as league.htm in my dreamweaver folder. I go to bravenet and upload it...And that is all i do....Any idea?? Thanks for your help.

lefty15401 · 12-30-2002, 06:33 PM

It is the weirdest thing...The standings page show up fine. But when you click on a team the link goes to C:/leaguesite8.htm instead of www.theblm.bravepahes.com8.htm . The link for the standings page is just fine...I just don't understand...

This is the part I am unfamiliar with. It might be where your problems are.

When I create my league.htm on my hard drive, the links stay within the folder instead of including the "C:/" part. I just create the files and then upload them, skipping the step I quoted from your post.

Saving into the Dreamweaver folder... that is what is doing it. If you move the league.htm to a new folder, then it changes all of the links. That is why they are pointing to C:\

Skip that part, and directly upload to bravenet.

Good luck

Well the problem is i need to save the file to dreamweaver so i can type into my main index the code for standings. Their is also another file named leaguesite in my c drive This dosent have the standings but has all the players pages etc.

lefty15401 · 12-31-2002, 01:42 PM

well guys i just found the problem...whenever i generate my report, it says league.htm exported . se then i go ito search and type it in. It comes up and I save it as ootp.htm . It then goes into my dreamweaver folder. I then go to my index page and type in ootp.htm in the standings. But the problem is, is that the player pages need to be saved in my dreamweaver file as well because they need to be uploaded. For some reason there is a file that says league site and about 4,000 player files inside of it. Now that would take me a month to do. I need to upload all thos files at once. Thats why the link says c:windows instead of what it should say. Any ideas here? Thanks

Red Blow · 12-31-2002, 05:13 PM

There should be a folder called leaguesite, not a file. The folder contains 1000s of files. These are all the various files that are produced when you click on Generate Report in the game. On that same page you will see that your destination folder says C:/leaguesite That means that all of the files that are created are sent to that folder. That is fine, you don't need to change the name of it.

You may need to change your strategy about how to design your site. See if someone in your league can help you out with this. Chances are you have an owner with some HTML experience.

Most leagues have a nice, visually enhanced main page and then link it to all of those other files (the 4000) that get uploaded after each sim. You shouldn't have to load any files into Dreamweaver to get them ready for the Net. Just send them straight to the Net. Put a link from your main web page to league.htm and you should be fine.

Use my league as an example (not the best) of how it can be set up.

My main (or home) web page is http://www.nobl.net/index.htm That is the "nice" page with all the graphics, extra info, etc.

The links down the left side (the green menu) take you directly to some of those 4000 pages that are created. You can go to the standings, teams, league financials, etc.

You could see those same 4000 pages by typing in http://www.nobl.net/nobl/league.html That loads up the "main page" the game creates (under generate report).

Good luck

Thanks for the words of advice...Would I be able to send you my files and you could upload them for me..? lol The problem is, is tha i cant get the player pages uploaded because they are in a folder. That is why they stay stuck in the c drive

lefty15401 · 12-31-2002, 09:47 PM

GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT...But one problem its gonna take me a month to do this...Well after trying everything else i tried this..I want into leaguesite and clicked on the st louis cardinal team page team25.htm I saved that in my dreamweaver file ..I then uploaded my standings page and that file to bravenet and bam the st louis page come up correctly...I need to know if i can save all of those file on my dreamweaver folder during the generating of pages?

Red Blow · 12-31-2002, 10:17 PM

yes... put the path to your Dreamweaver folder where it says C:\leaguesite on your On-Line League Options page.

Killebrew · 12-31-2002, 10:26 PM

Lefty, sorry but your site is still not happening and you are doing the same things you were doing in your previous post about this issue

.

Why not just generate the pages with OOTP4, then use WS_FTP to upload them to your site as Treches suggested. Skip anything to do with Dreamweaver - it is an awesome program, but it requires you to be fairly knowledgable about the web and websites. The link to this free ftp program (WS_FTP) was posted by Treches in your other post about the problem

. Here is the download link again if you don't have this program yet:
http://download.com.com/3000-2160-15...ml?legacy=cnet

Just generate the html pages using OOTP, then ftp the pages up to your bravenet site. Since I think you have a 5 MB per upload limit just up half the files, reconnect, then upload the other half. Good luck & feel free to PM or email me with a step by step walk through.

Cooleyvol · 01-01-2003, 12:05 PM

When you create your HTML files, don't put ANYTHING in your DW file. Just use an FTP program to upload ALL the files in the LeagueSite folder up to your site into a folder that you create called "LeagueSite".

Then ALL you have to do is place a link on your index page to the LeagueSite/league.htm or standings page..........from there, you should be able to navigate to any of the other files.

It's really simple, once you get your feet wet.

lefty15401 · 01-01-2003, 03:47 PM

Hey I have ws ftp and it always says timed out error...What did you use?

It probably says the "timed out" error because you mentioned in a previous post you have a 5 MB upload limit per session. I think the advice in that other post was to upload half the files, reconnect, then upload the other half. From WS_FTP just highlight half the files (remember which ones - you can align them alphabetically), send them and disconnect/reconnect, then from WS_FTP highlight the rest of the files. If the OOTP html files for your league are more than 10MB in size then you may have to do this process in 3 uploads. Sorry the process is a little longer for you, but that extra work is actually the price you pay for free server space
