The ball will not show and the submit button will not be active if Robin is not running – that is how I quickly confirm if things are working ;-) .

The last message sounds like Robin has not been started. Did you perhaps forget to start Robin in the control panel?

Also, when reinstalling, don’t forget to set your ip address in the mysetup,php. Also just confirm that you have set your domain in the Robin.as file without the http://.

You should be able to test from your FLA sample files. Make sure Robin is running on the server then run a sample fine in Flash and have a look at the output window – that will tell you what is going on. Let me know.

Dan

I have set the permissions as you suggested, now the samples load but don’t work in a different way. If I load Shared Ball, I just get a blank screen with the robin logo at the bottom. If I load FloatChat, I can see and type into the text boxes, but the “submit” button doesn’t work.

It looks like the robin server still isn’t running though if I check the log:

======================================================
RunRobin log – cycles: 34 – stopped – June 22, 2011, 12:08:36 pm

RunRobin has stopped running (crashed or locked)
last date = June 22, 2011, 11:53:03 am
last id = 23746

no Robin log file

Robin has not been started
======================================================

I played around with the permissions but in doing so caused something to break (got a 404 instead of the admin left-hand menu) so I deleted and re-uploaded all the Robin files. I set the permissions of the Robin folder to 777, but now there isn’t a robinlogs folder, and the log in the admin console says:

======================================================

no RunRobin log file

RunRobin has not been started

no Robin log file

Robin has not been started

======================================================

The samples load in the same way as above (e.g. floatChat loads, but the submit button doesn’t work).

Thanks again for your help!

It says no Robin log file. I wonder if it is write permissions issue on the robin folder. Can you set the chmod to 777 on your robin folder and your robinlogs folder. Let me know.

I’m not sure what you mean exactly by type of server (I’m very novice!) – I’m running PHP 5.2.12 on an ipage web server (www.jonnymartyr.com) if that’s what you meant…

Once your flash files are compiled they will have the Flash Robin classes in them so in other words, if they compile there will be no class path issue.

FLASH:

*** In your Robin class, put your server address as instructed in the class

Then each of your sample FLA files to make swf files

Then your sample links in the admin should work when Robin is running

There are two problems I’m facing, which may be related.

1) When I run the ip.php file on my server nothing is displayed. I got round this by manually checking the IP of my server, so hopefully that’s fine.

2) I can compile and run the samples offline (obviously without the server-side stuff working). When I upload them to the server they stop working. It looks like it’s missing the class path, although I’ve set it in the Flash IDE. I followed the Flash instructions above but can’t get it working. I’m a bit of a novice with server technologies so there might be something simple I’m missing.

I’m a little confused by the log – when I click “Start Robin” in the admin panel I see the following:

“RunRobin log – cycles: 34 – stopped – June 22, 2011, 11:18:46 am

RunRobin is running with an ID = 17812
last date = June 22, 2011, 11:47:31 am
last id = 17812

no Robin log file

Robin has not been started”

It looks like it’s just stopped straight away – is that the case? Could that be causing the above problem?

Thanks for your time!

Robin is a tricky one ;-) . I wonder if Seatiel got his working. If your socket is not running then I would suppose you would get that error. What does your Robin Admin say about the socket running? If you installed to a robin folder on your server then it will be server address/robin and your admin should pop up – the password can be set in setup.php I think…

If I trace the error event at getPolicy() method it says:
#2031: Socket error. URL: mydomine.com.

Thanks! (sorry for my english Im from Argentina)
Byes!

My apologies for the delay – I forgot to reset the RSS reader for these comments.

1) I did not put the html pages in there because they will not work until you publish the swf files with your settings.

2) The readme file is rather large so I am not surprised you missed it – but under the FLASH section there is the line *** In your Robin class, put your server address as instructed in the class (event with the *** as it is important)

3) Let me check on the MAMP on the Mac – I know a couple people who got it running on the Mac but there was some folder security thing they did… not crossdomain…
