goodnight opml land.... 

jeez the time! zzzzzzzzz....zzzzzzzz....

SO COME ON DAVE... 

Give it a go? One quick post. Just for the archive. I'd be honoured if you blogged on my server. Even if it was for just one post! heh.

Hey, I'll get some OPML tshirts made up for people: "I hosted Dave Winer's Blog" or "Dave blogs on MY server" etc, etc.

AWESOME!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!! 

THANKS AMY!!! AND WELL DONE FRAN!! U ROCK! (fixed links now ;) ) Great template Amy!! Woo snazzy!

I saw Amy talk about her header graphic and I was just thinking - with the renderer in our control, you could have a header graphic which automatically changed with season, day, weather forecast etc etc ;) your flickr stream perhaps?

Wowo. That didn't take too long to fix up did it?

OK. So it took a bit of a kind of hack to get the folder to another REMOTE server - instead of the shared network drive which Dave suggests. But hey, it works! And it's more or less the same thing - but I'm using WAN and LAN - and WiFi actually! The Server PC gets it connection from a WiFi Router Bridge thing I have, which makes my network bigger :) This is a wifi OPML server!

Bear in mind that the machine running the blogs.attention.com server is a very small machine at home. It won't on all the time - but I will arange one that can be - lets see how my ADSL copes ;) Only 512kbps upstream though.

I will leave it on tonight though and probably til the weekend. Lets see how she holds up!

It's mad when you think about it, isn't it? Amy opens up her Editor. Changes her community server to my address - at home. She registers. She opens her daily blog entry outline and types...

When she hits SAVE, her editor first saves her blog oulines on her local machine then connects via RPC to my PC at home, running the server and it generates the OPML she wrote.

Then it saves these new OPML files on a drive on the machine here at home.

BUT - the trick is - this folder isn't a local Apache server - no sireee! It's a virtual folder actually connected to my Linux server miles away. The files *look local* to me AND the Community Server. The X Drive! ;)

So, Amy's files from her local MyDocs/OPML/www folder get mirrored to her folder on host.attengine.com VIA a little box under my bedside table! That's funny - and possibly a little spooky! :)

Could anyone that willing to quickly test connecting to my community server please mail me now? Or leave a comment. 

I am running with the OPML Community Server here: http://blogs.attengine.com/attengine

this is a TEST

Update [thanks Amy] OK. We have connection to the blog itself. But how about trying to register at rpc.attengine.com ? like the previous tests for dave. *fingers/toes crossed* - I will be AMAZED if this works - ie: someone outside, registering on a server here at home.

btw: I owned a VW Beetle too ;) I miss flashing my lights at other ones ;)

More dns fiddling...waiting 

http://blogs.attengine.com/attengine is slowly coming alive I think.

Worth pointing out ... 

.. that blogs. and host.attengine.com are on a box here at home and will not be on all the time - yet - as it currently sits under the bedside table! lol. (A mini-itx box I built ;) ) like this, but in a shiny silver flat case.

This might work. 

I will try to 'Add a Network folder to be an ftp connection to my remote server - hmm.. nope. it doesnt get a local path to set as the location of 'host'

solution! GOOD OLD ENGADGET

Screencast on how to use Novell Netdrive to map a local (virtual) drive letter to an FTP server

I think blogs. and host. are fighting over port 80. This would make sense as I only have the one IP on that machine.

I set the ip in the startup text file to be my external IP. hmm.. i wonder..

My Instant Outline works... 

.. as it's not rendered by blogs.attengine.com

it's here : http://host.attengine.com/attengine/instantOutliner/kosso.opml

Hmm.. am I back on here? Yes 

http://host.attengine.com/attengine/ user folder is there. image dropped and 'synced' to host. ok

http://blogs.attengine.com/attengine/ does not appear to be picking up yet. digging.

(I have a user called 'attengine' you see - it's folder and blogs files all set up after registration)

Maybe I assuming that this setup is possible . hmmm.

One Windows Pc

Apache

Subdomains pointing to single IP @ home.

Router set up to forward port 80 to PC with OPML server/editor installed - inclugin Apache installed.

Apache configged to serve host.attengine.com but not blogs.attengine.com - as I assume the server software serves that based on the opmlStartupCommands.txt

Has anyone else got this working yet? Drop me a line to try a tests.

Experiments with home windows machine as blogs.attengine.com and host.attengine.com

I went to my GoDaddy DNS setup for attengine.com and added some A records for my subdomains and pointed them to my home ip. - my router forwards port 80 to a windows pc with Apache and the community server running.

Results are inconclusive as yet.

no hurry ;) at ALL! just having a play here with an idea regarding folders and ftp sites

I think newbies (and seasoned opml bloggers) might be expecting functionality similar to radio - upstreaming rendered content to a remote server. Possibly.

Anyone know of a web host provider with a windows box with remote desktop access?

OPML SERVER TESTING 

...will happen later when I get a chance to build a new windows box to run it on.

tagcamp server.  

Am I back on support.opml.org now? yes I am.
