Software => HFS ~ HTTP File Server => Topic started by: briesmith on March 21, 2015, 04:22:38 PM

I am running HFS 2.3 Build #289 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 platform. I had a static IP address and HFS worked fine.
I switched suppliers to BT who don't supply static IPs so I bought a noip subscription and configured HFS to work with that. Running in expert mode when the application makes a request to either download or upload files to/from HFS, the request is seen but HFS doesn't do anything and the requesting browser session eventually times out.
I've tried Chrome and IE.
This is the statement that tries to access the Upload folder <a class="menuButton" href="http://www.hsc.leaguemanager.biz:6881/" target="_blank">Upload</a> and this is the statement that tries to access the file URLS in the Downloads folder <a href="http://www.hsc.leaguemanager.biz:6881/Downloads/~files.lst?recursive" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:underline" title="Uploaded files URL">Uploaded files URLs</a>.
If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful.

I cliced on the URL link to see if it was a redirect issu on No-ip.. but every thing on that end looks fine.
Have you tried to re-download the HFS program ???
have you made any custom changes to the template?
Did the upload work before switching?
Qute"I switched suppliers to BT"
I assume you mean Internet Service Providers.. Who might be blocking that...

Thanks for replying; I haven't re-downloaded HFS and I haven't made any changes to the template.
As far as I know because I am accessing HFS via a website I am not using the template?
BT is my ISP and the HFS set-up worked fine before I switched and also worked briefly after the switch.
I watch the HFS log and it seems to be serving pages to other website visitors without reporting problems or time-outs. All very strange.

all right, since it not the program(as you said you have/haven't re-downlaoded it...), nor the ISP(as webpages are still working!), i believe it is an issue with your html code...
You should have folders, using - putting your html code under the "different template tab"
This way, HFS default template isn't touched.
By default, hfs has a default template, which is universal to all webpages.. We will not touch that. (more of an area for a better forum user...)
I see that you are trying to use a "Style" for your uploads.... So i think the issues is with the HTML parsing in the code...
see here for more info for html coding...

<a href="http://www.hsc.leaguemanager.biz:6881/Downloads/~files.lst?recursive" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:underline" title="Uploaded files URL">Uploaded files URLs</a>
should be:
<style>
a:link {color:#000000; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:none}
a:visited {color:#000000; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:none}
a:hover {color:#ff0000; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:underline}
a:active {color:#ff0000; background-color:transparent; text-decoration:underline}
<!-- style="text-decoration:underline" -->

All a bit baffling; it's working fine (again!) this morning.
Completely baffled.

ok, then its a sign of web browser cashing, since you switched internet service providers, IPs were changed, and the web browser was using a "pre stored" content to view which was incorrect for the browser..., the browser finally went and got the actual webpage...
