Can i host my patcher at free hosting site?

[Dolphin86]

as title, i had just got my server up, but the hoster do not provide me with a patcher since i took the pakage without a patcher, so i was wondering is it posible to have a patcher on free hosting site?

and if so what does it require?

i need working site hosting where i can host my patcher for free, been looking for days by now, none working perfectly, most free hosting site had block new account request from my country Malaysia. any sugguestion?

P/S : sorry if this topic at wrong section not sure where to start this topic

Here is a longer explanation of the original post:

1. create a SourceForge account https://sourceforge....er/registration
   
2. create a new project: https://sourceforge.net/p/add_project
   * make sure you check the SVN tool, to enable SVN
   
3. install TortoiseSVN on your computer http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html
   
4. checkout a working copy of the SVN of your new project. The SVN url will be something like:
   

   https://svn.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/code/

   
   * make sure your URL has https so you have read+write access
   

5. In your new working copy, create folders for your patcher stuff. For example:
   /
   /patcher/
   /patcher/data/
   
6. SVN Commit your changes.
   Now you should be able to browse your SVN and see the folders you just created
   

   http://svn.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/code/patcher/

   
   

7. Configure your patcher (see Category:Patchers)
   Your "patcher website" URL is the SVN url:
   

   http://svn.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/code/patcher/

   
   * http for anonymous read-only access
   

8. Here's an example of some of the Thor_Patcher urls you would configure:
   RootURL='http://svn.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/code/patcher/'
   file_url=http://svn.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/code/patcher/data/
   
9. Now in your working copy, add the patcher website files.
   Thor patcher for example, would have:
   /patcher/main.ini
   /patcher/plist.txt
   /patcher/data/this_is_a_patch.thor
   
10. set appropriate SVN Properties for each file type
    • "patchlist" and other text files should have svn:eol-style=native
      
    • "patch files" (ex: .grf .gpf, .rar .thor) and any other binary files should have svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream
      
    • "html files" - should have svn:mime-type=text/html (if you forget this property, the html file will display as plain-text. example)
      
    • images - should have their corresponding image type (for example .png should have svn:mime-type=image/png)

[*]SVN Commit

[*]Each time you have a new patch, add the patch to your working copy, then SVN Commit the changes.

You can host static files through a SVN, and there are many free SVN hosts.

You can actually host patch files at project website like Assembla, Google Code. Search for guide.

Make sure your website folders are accessible by the user/group Apache is running as.

On Ubuntu/Debian, Apache runs as the user www-data and group www-data, so you should 'chown' all website files:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

And then make sure the user (www-data) has read+write permissions,

chmod -R u+rw /var/www/

or if it only needs read permissions:

chmod -R u+r /var/www/

i think i will skip that, i would like to try host my patcher in googe code, assembla or sourceforge, any tutorial for it?

I had read the link that you gave me before, but i dont understand how can i host my patcher at sourceforge.net, is there any guide or tutorial that i can reffer to?

[sietse11]

If I get this to work this is so going into my wikia page.

My previous two attempts getting thor to work on a free webhost failed miserably

--EDIT--

This guide will be on my wikia within the next 4 hours

why i can get error when commit a 30mb above?

[Brian]

Can you screenshot the TortoiseSVN error so we can see?

By the way, there is Project Web hosting for open source projects hosted on SourceForge.

[solid2005]

i tried 10 time no luck at all but my less than 1 mb or 2 mb can be commit.

[Brian]

Try committing over svn+ssh.
