shoutbox "nowplaying png" on a local host php / ap

Post by HARkonEN »

try as i might i just cant get this to work. is it possible on localhost?

i run my shoutcast server from my own machine too, and just want a way of showing whether the png when im online (hot linked from http://harkonen.no-ip.com/public)

can any1 post an idiots guide to getting this setup? im new to php, and dont really understand how.

also what does this mean?

"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."

any help greatly appreciated :)

What OS are you using? If you are using a unix based web server you will need to CHMOD the specified files. To do this I use a program called WS_FTP LE (free FTP prog) and then you simply right click on the file that is specified and click chmod. CHMOD 777 means to check the read, write, and execute boxes for all 3 columns. If you are using a windows based server you don't need to worry about this.

Hopefully this helps....
