Found a fix for lightbox working locally but not on site!

This was reply origionally but I felt I should post it. It seems to be a common problem and I was unable to find a resolution so here it is....
I found a fix for something similar that occurred on my machine. I too was seeing no problems locally but when I posted it to my site, it just had the placeholder and no images....
Apparently, dreamweaver is smarter than the browser... (maybe incorrect statement) however..... the file extensions are case sensitive!
I had this-------- <A href="Img/CGM_1.JPG" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG" /></a>
<a href="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
Well, I didnt think anything was so bad, all of the colors were right I wasn't getting any warnings.... wtf?
As it turns out, and this is only because I just started a new image set after testing an individual - - baby steps - - if you use the properties bar at the bottom of DW, it applies a different case for specific parts...... i.e. this is what it produced
<A HREF="Img/CGM_1.jpg" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg" /></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
Notice the HREF's are now UPPER case and the jpg's are now lower case. !!!! really?!?!?
Also, another thing to look out for is the folder/ in front of your thumbnail; make sure it is there. In my case I use my sam "Img" folder, not the "images" folder that lightbox creates.
Hope this helps, I beat my head against the wall for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to figure this out. I couldn't find anything on the internet. I'm going to post this so others having this issue get it resolved. I found those, just no resolution.

Thanks for your quick response
I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
Thanks again for the Help

FLV Player works locally but not on site

I made a media player for the website I maintain and
the FLV Player works on my machine, but it doesn't even show up
online. What did I do wrong? Here is the url:
ruarts.org/f/media player flash/content/rcca
player.html

Me thinks you have hard-coded some incorrect relative paths.
For instance, one of your SWFs is here:
http://ruarts.org/f/media%20player%20flash/content/frog%20bride.swf
And the link to one your FLVs is this:
http://ruarts.org/Users/stmcmast/Documents/media%20player%20flash/movs/respond%20park%2010 20%201.flv
But the actual path to that same FLV is this:
http://ruarts.org/f//media%20player%20flash/movs/respond%20park%201020%201.flv

[AS3] EventDispatcher works locally but not remotely

Hi,
I am very new to Action Script and have the following
problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a small video player app. I have added the FLVPlayback
component to the stage and set some properties via action script
(AS 3)
I then instantiate a class to go and retrieve some XML,
register an eventListener to wait for the XML to be loaded and once
the event has fired, load the FLV file (just hard coded at the
moment) into the FLVPlayback object.
This works when testing in the Flash IDE but not when I
publish the movie to my webserver. I have tried commenting out the
player.load() and just adding a textfield and again this works
locally but not when I publish to the webserver. I have included
some code snippets below.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
I found the problem if anyone has the same issue. I was
passing some FlashVars in incorrectly using the
AC_RunActiveContent.js that comes with Flash. I have switched to
swfobject and all is well.
thanks

cffeed caching works locally but not on server

So I got my new Hostek account set up (woohoo!) and I've started uploading some basic files so I can do thinks like validate my code and make sure everything's working. One thing that does not work (but does locally) is my news feed caching.
Pulling in two RSS feeds was seriously slowing down my index page loading, so I stole a trick from Ray Camden on caching the feeds. It works perfectly on my dev machine at home, but doesn't work on my hosted account.
Here's the exact code being used:
<cfset feedurl = "http://velonews.competitor.com/feed">
<cfset cacheTime = #createtimespan(1,0,0,0)#>
<cfif not structKeyExists(application,"rsscache") or dateDiff("n", application.rsscache.created, now()) gt cacheTime>
    <cffeed source="#feedurl#" query="entries">
    <cfset application.rsscache = structNew()>
    <cfset application.rsscache.data = entries>
    <cfset application.rsscache.created = now()>
</cfif>
<ul>
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</ul>
I tried wrapping a try/catch around the top section (above the <ul>) and still got nothing for an error message. The page just stops being rendered at that first <ul>.
I'm not sure why it works locally but not on the web server. Any ideas?

Miraculously, I got it working.
I changed this:
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
To this:
<cfoutput maxrows="6" query="application.rsscache.data">
<li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li>
</cfoutput>
And bingo! It worked. Perhaps it's an idiosyncrasy between CF9 and CF10.

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.

Swf works locally, but not on server

I have an issue with an xml-driven swf file. It plays fine when I test the site locally, but not when it's uploaded to a server. Here is a link to the page. There are many posts on this and other forums describing the same problem, though I can't find the right solution. The only thing it has convinced me of, is that it is probably a pathing problem. I purchased the file online, and instead of one swf and one xml there are about ten of each to make it work. In addition to this there are about 40 .as files. (all this to make it "easier" to customize). Since I plan to use this banner rotator on multiple pages, it will be very unconvenient to upload all these files for every page I make. I checked with support for this product, and was told I could make a flash directory, only duplicating the xml-files for each new page and linking the xml back to the swf-files. Otherwise the support answer was very short and unhelpful. I have renamed every path in the xmls so that it should be right. As I said, the file works locally, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have posted in adobe forums before, and I have alwas found helpful and kind responses.
Thank you,
Siri

They're all uploaded to the server, it is also possible for me to dowload them from there. When i run the main swf file through flash player debugger, I get this message:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/xml/abrMain.xml

So I guess it can't locate the xml folder (since it is not there), but I don't know how to change the path. I can change it in the xml, pointing to the swf, but how do I do it the other way?
This is the main xml-file:

</abrMain>
the abrMain.xml tells the swf what files it shold use, and where to find them, but where do I tell the abrMain.swf to find the xml? Maybe this is an issue for product support instead, though they only answer short and cryptic.

Facetime works local but not long distance

i have been using facetime for 2 years. Last week (soon after upgrade 8.2) my service became intermitant. it works locally, but long distances it is ringing but no one is answering...
I am using airport extreme....so not sure if its extreme or something else causing this...

chris, thanks so much but i think it has to do with port somehow.
since i am out of the us it works fine in where i am at, but trying to get to the us in just rings off the hook and no one can pickup....so it gets a notification that the call is coming through but ends at that point.....and i am just pushing voice only not video.
other people where i am at use facetime and are able to talk to people in the US...I have been doing so until 1 week ago, when i downloaded 8.2 Thanks for your reply looking forward to understanding what else i can do......
ps already installed firmware in extreme...but didn't solve the issue.

Only for 30 days. If you have your Mac and iPhone signed into the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled on each device
AND have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
the photos you take on your iPhone will automatically be imported into your iPhoto Library.

Custom WordBreaker working locally but not on server

Hi,
We need to create a fulltext index on a column storing URL paths. So we need a WordBreaker which breaks URL paths according to our needs.
I managed to create a custom WordBreaker based on the existing lrsample example from windows SDK. The dll is registered in Windows registry and the SQL server can see it and use it when building fulltext catalog.
But this only works on my SQL server running locally on my PC. When I try to use the dll for word-breaking on our production server, the server can see the dll but it doesn't use the dll when building the fulltext catalog. I really don't understand why this
is happening. Can be there any security setting which refuses to use external COM modules or something similar to this? I already spent 2 days on this and I'm lost.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Spry Image Slideshow works locally but not live!?!?

I am new to the whole website creation. I used the Spry Image Slideshow widget from the widget browser and everything works perfectly when I tested it locally. However, once i uploaded to the server and tested the links I get errors stating that it cannot locate the .js files. Like stated, I am very much new to this and have no idea how to fix this problem. Has anyone else ran into this or know of a solution?
My website address is www.terranceperdue-architecture.com and the links in question are on the portfolio link.
So more specifically:
http://www.terranceperdue-architecture.com/Design%20Studio%201.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping to use this website to gain an internship for the summer. But if it is not working then that is not an option.
Thanks for any and all insight.

I see where you have posted that you got your slideshow to work, but I do not see any of the reponses on how you did it. I am having the same problem when I test my slideshow locally on dreamweaver it works, but it does not work when I upload it to the internet. It doesn't give me any error, but all it does is show me a black box with a spinning play button like it is trying to load. It doesn't do anything else. I have tried looking at IE, Safari, and Firefox and I get the same thing on all of them.

Javascript working locally but not on sever

Hello,
Since this is a javascript question I'm ont sure this is the right forum, but since I've always had great help here I thought I'd give it ago, and for all i know , it is DW related...?
So i have a website that's been online for years, which using a javascript scroller that i found online, a long while ago.
Yesterday i made some site edits, that didn't (so far as I'm aware) involve messing with any of the javascript or links to external CSS or script files, but suddenly the scroller isn't working any more.
Oddly though, it works locally in Live Design view, and in all browsers previewed locally too (usinag MAMP server)... but just not online.
Why did it suddenly stop working?
Here is al link to a stripped down version of teh problem, and i'd be grateful of any help anyone can offer:

Hyperlink works locally but not on Intranet

Hi,
Very strange behavior since most of other hyperlinks in
separate projects only work on the Intranet, but not locally. All
setting for hyerlinks are the same since they were pulled from a
template.
Any ideas
lisa

Lisa,
Your inability to get your Captivate files working properly
from a local machine may be related to the Flash Player security
restrictions issue:
Link
to Adobe Knowledge Base Article
The article is a bit misleading as it implies that you only
need to change your settings if your Captivate file is actively
passing information to the Internet somehow, but I've found that I
pretty much always run into the security issue when previewing
files locally in the browser.
Since I tend to help out on lots of other people's projects
at work, it turns out it's easier for us as a group to simply
publish directly to an Intranet server and preview from there via
HTTP (i.e. navigating to the correct web server URL in a browser).
This allows us to not only avoid the security issues, but ensures
that we've copied all the necessary files to the server.
For my own projects, I've also specified a common "published"
folder on my local machine as "safe" in the Flash Player Settings
Manager so I can quickly test my projects using the "View Output"
button in Captivate's Publish dialog.
This last tidbit is something that people often overlook.
Unless you specify your publish location as "safe" in the Flash
Player Settings Manager,
any file you launch via the View Output button is considered
"local" and subject to the tighter security restrictions associated
with locally-accessed files.

Azure SQL database working locally but not when published to Azure

I have an
AngularJS solution that is connecting to a SQL Azure database. When
I run the solution locally, it’s configured to connect up to the SQL Azure database, the solution works fine. However,
when I publish the solution to Azure the connection to the SQL Azure database does not work.
When debugging with Chrome I get the error Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server
Error)
I'm not using EF. but dapper.
My connectionstring is as follows
<add name="PortalConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=tcp:xxx.database.windows.net,1433;Database=xxx;User ID="xxx";Password="xxx";Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection
Timeout=30;"/>
When I run the web solution locally from Visual Studio, my sql queries runs like it should, it's only the published version having problems.
Any ideas?
Software Developer

Hi,
Thanks for answer.
I had followed that step by step guide for deploying to Windows Azure. So that was not the problem.
But I was able to get a better error message by turning off custom error in web.config.
I got the error message: "Windows login are not supported in this version of SQL Server"
I solved this by using the SqlConnectionStringBuilder instead of getting the connection string from
web.config.
So everything works great now, just think it's strange it worked locally before..

RSS Widget works locally but not on website

I used the RSS widget to insert the following RSS feed:
feed://www.bpkids.org/updates.xml
I have also tried inserting with http:// instead of feed:// but no difference
When I publish the site and check it on my local folder, it works. But when I post it to my website, it shows nothing.
This is the first time I've used the RSS widget. It seems straight forward enought, however, I've read in these discussions that there was a bug with the RSS widget recently that was causing it not to work and wasn't sure if this is still a problem. Thanks

That is a crossdomain issue because you have the site
accessible via www or without.
If you use

to access that page it will work.

Flash video works locally but not on server

I am hoping that someone can help me solve this problem. I cannot seem to fix it. I have created a flash video and it works fine locally but doesn't when I upload it to the server. All I get is a white blank screen. I can access the Flash settings but the video doesn't display. I have checked all file paths, which are correct since everything is in the same folder. I have looked up other forums trying to find a solution but nothing has worked yet. Does anyone here have any idea on how to solve this problem?
My operating system is Windows XP. I am using IE8 browser and my flash player is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind. I ended up solving the problem on my own. This old guide that I used before ended up helping me out. I will post the link here in case anyone else has the same problem.
