Web hosting site asks me how they should configure server.

Hi all,

i have a draft test release of a space that i build at the site http://tripleagent.co.uk/lerp.html

It is hosted in easyspace.com and as you can see it cannot be loaded. I tried it with the 000webhosting and it works.
Easyspace.com replied and fixed a couple of other problems, like mime but now they are stuck on this problem. and they asked me if there is any info in the unity end about what they need to do . what is needed in a web server for unity to run ?

I am in deep confusion !!! Any help will be very welcome … .

I uploaded to another host provider with a linux webserver and the same file works
http://www.tripleagent.org/lerp.html
Please no comments(yet about aesthetics … and other non technical things.
… i am with the other guys for 6 years, and they have helped me in the past so i wouldn’t like to cancel my contract. If you have any advice what someone should do in a windows server except fixing mime settings please let me know ///

Hint: allowed MIME types with regards to the Unity web file extension. Look at it this way, they have a configuration that say xxxxx file extensions are allowed as MIME types. They need to update and allow the Unity one.

They said to me that they did it. At first the player was sayin something like(if remember correctly) invalid file. Then I sent them the config. File saying .unity3d etc… and the error changed to the one we see now… failed to decompress file.

Failed to decompress file? That seems like an invalid error, hmm… when do you see that message? When you click on the link to the game and the Unity loader loads?

-------------page source for error, it can’t find UnityEmbed----------------

					// 2.5.0 cannot auto update on ppc. Treat as broken.
					else if (document.getElementById("UnityEmbed").GetPluginVersion() == "2.5.0f5" 
						 navigator.platform == "MacPPC")
						brokenUnity = true;

FYI I am on Windows 7, not a MacPPC, outside of that script error, the thing is actually slowely downloading, and I do mean SLOWLY, will see if anything opens in the player when it is done, because of the speed, I suspect that something on the ISP is getting injected in the stream.

Also, just noticed in the script, but:

The mime type is unity3d, not unity, do not know if that would make a hill of beans, but I think it should read:

And the mime should match as unity3d…

[FINALLY LOADED]
Ok, there might be a timeout setting for page loads, you want to increase that drastically, it took almost 10 minutes to load the thing, but it eventually DID load.

I do not know how large that thing is, but you might want to look at into ResourceLoad and asset streaming. Get with your ISP for the default timeouts.

Thank you very much for checking … the null error is only an IE error and windows 7 …my vista machine doesn’t have it …and we are working on it.
so did you manage to load the .CO.UK tripleagent.co.uk/lerp.html ? because i can’t. and nobody from my friends can …
the .ORG
tripleagent.org/lerp.html works but loads slowly 2minute for 50mb … it is a slow server … even hough if i use the installer it downloads at 900kb/sec not the best but much faster …
there are loads of optimizations that can make it smaller … but first i want to make it work.
By the way i have /test.html url that is 1.5 mb and i use that to see what is going on …

ok so you loaded it … this version with the wrong GUI was uploaded there … why i can’t load it and two of my friends too .!!! that’s so weird . The file is 50mb if you need 10 minutes that means that the server gives 150kb/sec or something like that,it is quite lame …
concerning the script this is the default script generated from unity 3d i hope that dreamweaver didn’t change it … i haven’t touch it … when i go to the office i will try to change it … and see what happens

thanks again …
a .

Unity 2.6.1f3 html code says apllication/vnd.unity in all places … and the mime settings should be

correct me if i am wrong …
here is a an image of my error in that server …this happens without loading anything … after 2 seconds …
