Glycan Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Hello, all. I really want to make game in python, and I also want to get the flash crowd. My ugly hack to this is to have the game as a socket server, and teh game being a client. Thus, does heliohost support python socket servers?
Guest Geoff Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 You will need to run your server on port 80. We have a firewall that blocks non-standard ports.
Glycan Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Yes, but how do I do so? Do I just upload it, or what?
Guest Geoff Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 You don't sound like you know what you're doing. I think something like Juggernaut would be much more suited to this.
Glycan Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 No, I don't. And I'm not using Ruby/Rails, I'm using python. And a bit of flash.
Guest Geoff Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I don't think you can run websockets from python. Maybe djbob can be of some help.
Guest Geoff Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 This support request is being escalated to our root admin.
Ashoat Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Geoff: It's impossible for a user to run a server on port 80, since Apache is already running on that port. Only one process can run on one port at a time. We have all unused incoming ports blocked from remote access, but if you're accessing the port locally you should be okay. Just pick a random port and go for it.
Glycan Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 I'm goign to be running a server which anyoen (hopefully) can connec to. Is this possible? If so, how (exactly)? Also, why do you have _such_ enforced security? Triple cachaps, doubel email confrmation..
Ashoat Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 We don't have double email confirmation, and "cachaps" isn't a word so I'm not sure what you're saying. No, it's not possible to set up a server that anyone can connect to. You can play around with mod_proxy with a .htaccess file, though, to try to redirect your traffic on that port to some URL on port 80. The result will be that you're restricted to HTTP, though.
Glycan Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 I meant 'cachapa'. And you do have double email confirmation, for password ressets. Crap. Is there anyone who hosts server for free?
Wizard Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I meant 'cachapa'. And you do have double email confirmation, for password ressets. Crap. Is there anyone who hosts server for free? I don't know any off the top of my head that would do what you're asking to do.
Ashoat Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Maybe they're referring to "CAPTCHA"? Regardless, stop whining. Yes, there is someone who hosts for free - us. If you have a problem then go find someone else.
