Error after uploading game to server

Hey all, I was hoping I could get some help

My friend offered to host my game for me (to put on kongregate).

However, when I try it out (outside of Kongregate) I get nothing but a black screen and this error in the Dev console:

Creating Application Cache with manifest squiddster.theorangeblock.org/offline.appcache

Application Cache Checking event

Application Cache Error event: Invalid manifest mime type (text/plain) squiddster.theorangeblock.org/offline.appcache

The game should be here. He said he was sure he is linking to the index.html.

squiddster.theorangeblock.org

Any help would be appreciated.

See THIS POST from Ashley.

Many thanks.

Hmm, it still is not working.

This is what my friend says is the issue:

"Web browsers don't load the game even though the MIME type is set in a .htaccess file. The game does however work on a local WAMP server."

Does it work if you just export it as a normal HTML5 website and upload? I noticed you made some changes to the HTML, e.g. this:

script data-djssrc="jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/djs"></script>

<script data-djssrc="//www.kongregate.com/javascripts/kongregate_api.js" type="text/djs"></script>

'data-djssrc' is not a valid <script> property AFAIK so this is probably breaking it. Also, if you're using the Kongregate API, it might only work when viewed from inside Kongregate (i.e. you have to submit it first).

I was not aware of any modification to the script... I will re-upload a fresh version.

Also, I tested it on dropbox and it actually does work outside of Kongregate.

Thanks for your help, I'll keep you posted. If anyone has any more suggestions, let me know ;)

Well I created a fresh export of both the Kongregate one and a regular export.

I confirmed they worked from Dropbox however the friend who is hosting it for me says that neither file is working.

I haven't been in contact since. Here is the link (I am not sure which version this is, Kongregate or not.)

I really need assistance with this, thanks!

It's a black screen in Chrome, but it works fine in Firefox 10.0.1. (Except, for some reason, it's aligned to the top left of the screen rather than the center, did you do that on purpose?)

I can't really help any more than letting you know that much... Good luck getting it working. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hello,

I'm new here! I don't know anything about programming or engines but I'm a Game Art student in Denver.

We are making a game for a school project. I'm exporting the game but when I uploaded it in dropbox and copy and past the public link, it doesn't work.

Here is the link to the project

dl.dropbox.com/u/27999098/backg1level.capx

We still don't have the player's part completed, we're working on it. This supposes to be a platform game. We just started it. <img src="smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

gndwestwd, you need to export your game as an HTML5 website, and share the public link of index.html.

—, that's interesting. It does not work on firefox for me.

Also, I think the alignment is a side-effect of Kongregate export.

Any more help from somebody knowledgeable of the subject would be great, thanks!

sqiddster, I just tried again and went view-source and it still has things like "<script data-djssrc=...". This is still invalid HTML. Have you modified it or is the server modifying it? Can you not just try the HTML file that Construct 2 exports without modifying it?

Thanks! I will try to see if works.

Ashley, I did not modify the HTML script.

Here is the link from my dropbox before I send it to my friend.

If this HTML is different (and I think it is!), then we at least have a reason for the problem ;)

Thank you so much for taking time from your busy schedule to help!

Hi! again

I tried and I see a white box.

here is the link dl.dropbox.com/u/27999098/index.html

gndwestwd: it looks like you did not upload all the files. For example the game needs http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27999098/images/milkdrops1-default-000.png but this returns 404 not found. Did you upload the 'images' folder?

sqiddster - right click and "view source" on both the one on your server and the one on DropBox. They have completely different HTML. If you did not modify it then something on the server must be automatically modifying it, and it breaks it. I'm afraid I can't help you further - you'll have to ask whoever runs your server, because it could be anything at all running on your server.
