Thor > Failed to communicate with the server

[Overshot]

Hello,

 

I am trying to configure the patcher, i am using IIS7 but for some reason i cant get it connected to my server althrough the patcher gets the notice.html and image files. I cant figure what is the problem. I am using windows 7. Here are my scripts : 

 

main.ini :

//Thor Patcher remote config file
[Main]
//Allow patching or not?
allow=true

//Should patcher ignore everything else and finish patch immediately?
Force_Start=false

//if not, what message should appear?
policy_msg=Server is taking a nap.

//file_url - patch files should ALL put here.
// This config entry will override the one in embed config.
// o HTTP:
//         http://domain.com/dir/
// o FTP:
//         ftp://domain.com/dir/
//     o With <Username> [Password] [Port]
//	ftp://username:[email protected]:port/dir/
//     o Note: username is required if want put password, otherwise everything is optional.
file_url=http://178.57.115.6/patch/data/

[Patch]
//use CheckSum tool, hash for client & patcher
// used to make sure exe is up to date
//  (leave empty to disable this feature)
ClientSum=
PatcherSum=


//This is compressed file for patcher & client update
// To make these work, ClientSum and/or PatcherSum can't be empty
// Note: these files should put same place as patch file (file_url in internal config)
//Relative address, not FULL URL!
ClientPath=
PatcherPath=

// Patch list file
PatchList=plist.txt

[Stars]
// Shining o.O (Anyways, its for start button clones)
// Since orignal client has check sum.. why not for clones? XD


//How many? (it should same as amount of start button clone, but of course it's your choice)
clients=0

// _sum - checksum, use CheckSum tool.
//client1_sum=
// _Name - Filename of exe
//client1_Name=
// _Path - Path for file [Compressed]
//client1_Path=

[Misc]
//Set a limit for fragment, when reach this limit, patcher will ask user to defrag
FragmentLimit=50

I've the same problem with .thor file, I cannot get "update.thor" because IIS server return me 404. I need the MIME Type of thor file (like Text/plain)

check if you have activated the ssl certificate on the host where you have your patch if so uninstall it if that doesn't work hire another web host for your patcher

For some reason IIS7 had me that trouble. The solution for me was : Changed to Abyss Web Server.

Just adding to this post, IIS is best for Windows. It was due to your main.ini not being recognized by IIS.

You just had to add a MIME type for .ini files, add it as text file, and it should have worked just fine.
