no you use the FTP service tab to setup FTP otherwise if you want to use Script service just point to the url of catcher.php

so do i even fill out the ftp thing if im using script service? because i have both filled out. Because now im getting the stupid copyright pop up that won't let you run Rtb. This is really hard

Its poping up when i start the program. What is this? i dont even have a server listed and its still poping up. How do i fix it?

yea you hit a small bug in beta 4 where the copyright header missing comes up to get rid of that open rtb.ini and remove the line that reads:

Code: Select all

Sos=TRUE

the pop up will continue until you get a proper catcher url placed so you need to make sure that when you go to the catcher.php script through your webserver it looks sort of like this:

Code: Select all

Copyright RadioToolBox.com another great application from Jay Krivanek
BADPASSWORD

If it doesn't look anything like this or comes out look like straight code then you have problems on your webserver.

it looks like this

Copyright RadioToolBox.com another great application from Jay Krivanek<br>

<?php

include("config.php");

Is that wrong? because i still get the pop up

3. In some cases it will be neccessary to make includes.php a World writable file
You can do this by CHMOD-ing the file to 777 so that catcher.php can write to it.
Otherwise you will experience problems.

And how do i do that?

if you see php code in the output then your server is not properly parsing php files.
Just FYI:

Code: Select all

<?php 

include("config.php");

is php code.

ok im still getting not online. This stuff is really really hard. I mean. The url is right. The user and pass it right. I an puting the right DIR. and i also think i edited it the right way. What can be the problem then!....

Ok hold on i just changed my IP since i kinda have 2 and now it looks like it is working better, but not working. Like, it will look like its trying to connect. then is say invalid login!. So like what can be wrong now?my includes file only has this

<?php
?>

Is there anything i need to place in there. My config file looks like this.

<?php$mode='flat_file';/*Set this to your Radio ToolBox Username*/$rtb_user = '(Myusername)';/*Set this to your Radio ToolBox Password*/$rtb_pass = '(Mypassword)';/*Set this to the amount of Songs you want accumulated in History.*/$song_history = 20;/*Full Path to includes directoryif you want the scripts to use the full path to the includes.php file rather then thereletive path then use this setting. Be sure to include the trailing slash. Leave blankto use the reletive path.*/$includes_path = "";?>

This is still really hard, i have been trying to do this for days. I hope it dose not take me much longer...is it just me or is it kinda hard?

it's really not this hard, but you do need to have some knowledge about php so at least you can troubleshoot possible problems you could come accross. And you need to have a basic understanding of server setups and permissions. You can just use the FTP service instead, it's a little more straight forward, and if you understand and know your FTP settings for your webserver, it should take you no time to setup.

Still no going good, do i need to clear any ports at all?
