We provide your choice of Java Chat programs for use on
your domain. Extra charges apply for use of this feature. See our fee schedule for
pricing. If you have applied for basic Java Chat, look on your website for a chat
directory. It will already be configured for your server. To join the chat, with your
browser, go to:
http://www.yourdomain.com/chat
The page can be customized, but leave all the tags alone
that have to do with <APPLET CODE>.
Real Audio or Real Audio/Video is available for an extra
charge. See our fee schedule for details.
Real Audio is a real time audio transmission/player system.
A digital audio stream is transmitted from the server over the Internet to the destination
and played immediately, rather than being stored to disk first and then played.
Each audio clip requires two files: a metafile with
extension .ram, and the digital audio clip itself, with extension .ra.
The .ram file holds one or more lines of ASCII text, each
of which references the .ra file to be played when the .ram file is accessed by the
browser.
Entries in .ram files have the form:
pnm://yourdomain.com/yourdomain/name-of-clip.ra
Place your .ram and .ra files in the realaudio subdirectory
under your web directory. Remember that .ram files must be uploaded in ASCII mode while
.ra files must be uploaded in BINARY mode. You may then access these files via a web
browser at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/realaudio/file.ram
Miva makes building dynamic, data driven web pages as easy
as HTML. You can quickly develop interactive web pages that are 100% browser independent.
Miva runs on the web server, interprets the Miva tags and outputs pure HTML to the
browser. You can also use Miva to output Javascript and other browser languages, and use
the built-in database to easily manipulate and publish data.
Full documentation and usage support for HTML Script can be
found at http://htmlscript.com/. Miva offers a
variety of features and you should visit their site for more information.
We are running version 3.0 of HTML Script. The following is
what you will need to know for use on your domain.
The script being called is "miva", which is in
your cgi-bin. The active pages (pages with .hts or .mv) need to be placed in your root www
directory, not in subdirectories. A sample URL call for this would be as follows:
http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/miva?yourpage.mv
HTMLSCRIPT has a variety of pre configured products that require path information
we have preconfigured miva to automatically look into the www directory for data files, so
the following would be used if the data files are in the main directory
EXAMPLE.
<export file="file.dat">
To call Htmlscript thru the secure server use the following:
https://machine.safe-order.net/cgi-bin/smiva?yourdomain/yourpage.mv
Machine should be replaced with the name of the system your on, ie pan, artemis,
osirus, ect . . .
More On The Miva Engine.
The Miva Engine makes building
dynamic web sites as easy as writing HTML. Quickly develop server and browser
independent dynamic sites using the XML standard. Dynamic sites that integrate scripting,
database, and commerce can be developed and tested on a Microsoft workstation and deployed
on Microsoft or Unix servers.
| SUPPORTED STANDARDS | |||
| HTML | SGML | XML | HTTP |
| POP3 | SMTP | ISAPI | CGI |
| NSAPI | UNIX | WINDOWS | JAVA |
| ODBC | xBASE | APACHE | JAVASCRIPT |
Miva runs as a pre-processor on the web server, interprets the Miva tags and outputs standard HTML, XML, Javascript, and other user interface code to the browser. Use the built-in database and ODBC interfaces to easily manipulate and publish data. Anyone that knows HTML can use Miva.
Miva (Htmlscript 3.0) tags are XML compliant and include:
<MvEVALUATE>, <MvIF>, <MvELSE>,
<MvWHILE>, <MvEXPORT>, <MvIMPORT>, <MvCOMMERCE>, <MvLET>,
<MvASSIGN>, <MvCALL>, <MvHIDE>, <MvEXIT>, <MvCOMMENT>,
<MvFUNCTION>, <MvMAIL>, <MvOPEN>, <MvCLOSE>, <MvFIND>,
<MvSKIP>, <MvGO>, <MvADD>, <MvUPDATE>, <MvDELETE>,
<MvUNDELETE>, <MvMAKEINDEX>, <MvSETINDEX>, <MvREINDEX>,
<MvPACK>, <MvPRIMARY>, <MIVA>...
One majordomo listserver is provided for your domain for no additional charge. If you wish to to have it activated, email us and tell us the name you would like for your domain's majordomo listserver. Make sure it has a different name than the name of your domain. For instance if your domain was fredhappy.com, you might want to ask for fredhappydomo.
Once we have set up your Majordomo listserver, you can get help by sending email to majordomo@yourdomain.com. On the first line of your email, just type the word HELP. You will be sent a general help file. If you want more detailed instructions on using Majordomo, you can email:
For full instructions Domo@safe-order.net
Another great resource for Majordomo information is:

Microsoft Front Page extensions are added to your server if
you request them, at no additional charge.
If you are using FrontPage, you must create your new web on
the "localhost" system. This is accomplished by selecting "create new
web," and then entering "localhost" in the line where it asks for the web
location. Once you have completed your web on your computer, you can then select the
"publish web" option from the file menu in FrontPage Explorer.
You will be prompted for your IP address and web name and
then you it will send it to our servers. Please note that you will be prompted for a user
ID and password, and depending on your system configuration it may be the one that we
issued you or it may be the one that you entered when you first installed FrontPage. If
one does not work, then simply try the other. If you have forgotten what that password
was, then you will need to reinstall FrontPage and select a new one.
NOTE: If you are using FrontPage, you should NEVER use
regular FTP to upload your files. This will damage the extensions. Stick with one or the
other all the time.
If you have asked for additional POP/FTP/Telnet accesses on
your domain, the users of these additional accounts can access the server via FTP, Telnet,
and Email with the following parameters:
Hostname: yourdomain.com
Username: their unique username
Password: their unique password
POP Account: their unique username@yourdomain.com
SMTP Server: yourdomain.com
When they login via FTP or Telnet, they will be taken to their directory, where they will see their own www directory

thanks to the folks at Matt's Script Archives for their excellent documentation! Please

are free, but that doesn't mean they are cheap. Much time went into the development of
