How do i save info to a server?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Ok so lets say i have a test app… 

I open the app and there is a text box and in that text box i type “bob”.

Then i press a button and it saves it to a file and then sends that txt file to a server and stores it…

Then i can go on that server and open that up and see it.

How is this possible?

I tried coronium.io but i’m having problems…

Also the only language i know is LUA… But if anything i could pick up a language pretty quick if i have to… I used to code a little in c# and c++ but im trying to stick with LUA as much as possible… and plus i dont have enterprise so how would i even work with a different language with corona…

Here is a sample…

I really, seriously recommend taking another stab at Coronium.IO - they’re platform is very solid, well thought out and the guys on the forums are really helpful. I’m an old hand programmer - many, many years experience - and I had a little trouble figuring out the setup. It’s not actually that complicated, I eventually figured out, and once it’s setup you can pretty much ignore the difficult stuff and just push new code to your server.

Seriously, give them another look. I think there’s a Coronium forum on here, too - but you should definitely get on Coronium’s own google groups (maybe they moved it.)

Hey! Thanks for the advice! Would you mind helping me with this? Maybe through Skype? Or Google Hangouts?

Thanks!

Hey, So i tried again with a different account and im still getting the same error… When i copy and paste my public dns and do /admin after it and log in then it gives me this error 

500 Internal Server Error

Check out the screen shot i added…

I cant figure out why its doing that…

I did everything develephant did on his video…

Thanks!

Where do i get the appId? 

coronium:init({ appId = globals.appId, apiKey = globals.apiKey })

I got the apiKey…

But i cant find the appId

Thanks!

Im getting an error when trying to upload a file…

this is the code to upload the file…

local mc = require( "mod\_coronium" ) mc:init({ appId = "",apiKey = "I have my api key here" }) mc.showStatus = true local up = { filename = "text.txt", baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory } mc:uploadFile( up )

But when i run this i get this error

Failure cracking URL - http:///1/files error: Timed out errorCode: -1

Probably because i dont have an appId? 

Thanks!

Thanks!

#9

Sorry I haven’t been able to reply but it looks like you’re doing just fine.

I’ll keep an eye on this thread but keep plugging away and it looks like you’re home and dry.

Hi,

@horacebury - Thanks for the backup. Always appreciated. :slight_smile:

@sonicX278 - Glad you got it running. If you’re using AWS it can take a bit for the server to “warm up”

In the future all support questions can be posted on the Coronium IO Group for quickest results.

Cheers.
