Applet wont load

[Arachno331]

The Site (http://phantasiax.kicks-***.net)

If you goto Game - The CGI loads up ok. But when you click on the client. It wont initiate the client. >.<

I dont understand why.

Im using Fedora Core - Along with Apache. I have my CGI files in cgi-bin.

It also has some error - But I cant view it because I dont have a Errortemplate apparently.

Someone please help.

[Arachno331]

Hmm - Due to the filter it wont link you to the site.

phantasiax.kicks-877.net

8 = a
7 = s
7= s

You need to post the code that you're having a problem with and ask a specific question.

[FishMonger]

Hmm, based on the other question you posted, this program that your game is written in C. This topic area is for Perl, so we won't be able to help.

[Arachno331]

The applet uses MD5 Modules from Perl. And is run in a Java Applet.

So I guessed this was the best place. =\

The thing is - I dont actually know what is wrong with the code.... I have done everything I think I should have done.

I just dont understand why the applet wont load on the website.

[FishMonger]

Since you haven't shown us any code, it's impossible for anyone to help point out possible problems with the code.

[Arachno331]

Ok I got the applet to load up on another PC. But the problem now persists but is different - And this is the error I get now. Please help. :)


There was an error connecting to the socket:

ReadString Error: JavaLang.NullPointerException

[FishMonger]

That's a Java error, not Perl.

You'll need to post your question in a Java forum and provide the relevant code.

[Arachno331]

Ok I managed to fix that error. Now the applet loads up and everything.

Lol. But it doesnt actually....Carry through. If you know what I mean? I'll give you the Client code.
