1. Upload your encoded RealAudio or RealVideo files (files with the .ra or .rm extensions) to your account. 2. Use a text editor (such as Notepad) to create a metafile containing a RealAudio URL. For example, the contents of your file should be in the following form: http://yourdomain.com/path/file.ra or http://yourdomain.com/path/file.rm where yourdomain.com is the name of your website here. 3. Save your metafile in as text using a .ram filename extension. 4. In your HTML document, reference the metafile in a hyperlink. For example: <A HREF=”filename.ram”> or <A HREF=”http://yourdomain.com/file.ram”> You can use relative or complete paths. If you use complete paths, you must include both the yourdomain.com and the complete path. For example: <A HREF=”http://yourdomain.com/directory/file.ram”> 5. When a user clicks on the link, the audio file(s) begin to download. The RealAudio Player begins playing after a few seconds; it does not need to wait for the entire file to be...

One of the first things you must do when configuring a script, is set the correct path to the Perl interpreter, which is the engine responsible for processing the script. The path to Perl on our servers is: #!/usr/bin/perl

If you have a web page created by someone else, you can edit the text easily. Here’s how: 1. Download your web page from your web directory to your computer. 2. The name of the main page should be “index.html” or “index.shtml”. Open this page in your favorite text editor. 3. At this point, it’s always a good idea to save a copy of your file under another name (like “index2.html”), so if you make a mistake and can’t figure out how to fix it, you’ll have a backup. 4. Look for the text you want to change. Go ahead and change it. 5. Save your changes. 6. To see your page before you publish it, fire up your web browser, and point it to the page you’re working on (for example, C:my_documentsmypage.html) 7. If you like how your page looks, upload it to your website. 8. To view your newly edited page on the web, go to your URL (ie; http://www.yourdomain.com), and refresh (reload) the page by pressing the “reload” button, or by pressing F5 on your...

We DO NOT have Real Audio server software running on our servers. However, you can stream Real Media files by following these instructions: You will need to create a .ram file that calls your real audio/video file. The .ram file is a text file with an absolute URL. This URL will need to be: http://your_domain.com/filename.rm Typically you’ll create a realaudio file subdirectory under “public_html” or “www”, and put all your audiofiles there. E.g. “/public_html/music_files/” Then your .ram file, a.k.a., metafile, will contain an address with this format: http://your_domain.com/subdirectory/filename.rm The “subdirectory” is a subdirectory of your domain-www directory. So for example: http://your_domain.com/musicfiles/music.rm Notice: The above address goes in the .ram/metafile, not in your HTML code. Your HTML code calls the .ram/metafile. Then the .ram/metafile is used to call up the .rm/realmedia file. So for example, your HTML code would look something like...
