Could somebody tell me how I go around storing one of my revolution programs online? Am looking to sell software which requires constant updates.

Hi Dan,

Copy a zip file or dmg file to your web server...?

What exactly is the problem you're having?

Best,

Mark

Hey Mark

Well i've uploaded my zipped software file to my website and have used the following scrypt on a button on my main stack:

go stack URL "http://www.porrima365.org/index.html" which is the webpage i have uploaded my zipped software file (the software file is my saved standalone application) but its not opening the software file so wondered what exactly i an doing wrong?

The meaning behind my madness is that my software will be updated daily therefore i want users to be able to select a button opn a 'splash screen' which will download the latest version of the software from the internet.

Does that make sense?

Cheers

Daniel

Dear Daniel,

You are trying to open a stack with the name index.html, which fails because that file is not a stack but an html page.

You write you uploaded a zipped file, which implies that you can't open it as a stack. You have to download and unzip it first.

Upload your stack as a stack rather then anything else and go stack url "http://www.domain.com/your%20stack.rev".

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark

Right ok that makes sense - now the only problem i have and I know this may sound really blonde but how exactly do i upload my standalone rev file onto my website as a stack and not the html page?

Daniel,

Zip the files and upload if you have an executable.

I thought you wanted to upload your stack...? So, just upload it.

Mark
