Hi... this is my first post in these forums so please be nice! XD
anyway, i followed a tutorial by Raymond aka ObiAdmin HERE: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/php5sockets_flash8.htm
now i managed to install apache, php and get the socket server to run through command prompt, but whenever i try to access it with flash it fails for some reason!
the strange thing is that when i export (ctrl+enter) my flash movie INSIDE the actual flash program it can either connect or say that it hasn't connected (depending on wether i am running the socketShell.php via command prompt) but whenever i open it any other way such as by double clicking the .swf or going to localhost/flash.html it ALWAYS fails no matter what i do and even if i am running the socket shell!
anyway, i was just wondering if anybody else had this problem and if they had any idea how to fix it?
also, here is some more information:
my apache httpd.conf file if listening on 192.168.1.70:80 (my LAN ip address, and i checked that it was right) and the servername is the same... i am also port forwarding (ports 80 and 1234 [i am running socket server on 1234]) so that people from outside can view my files, and it works, but they also see the 'could not connect' error...
inside my flash i have tried everything... changing the thing to connect to from localhost to 192.168.1.70 (internal LAN ip), my external ip, my no-ip redirection site name, 127.0.0.1 and NOTHING works! but i only get the connection inside the flash preview window when it is set to localhost or 127.0.0.1
anyway, sorry for the wall of text, hope somebody can help me!
