Hi
I've a score upload feature in a game created in AppGameKit that tests ok when running in AppGameKit, scores are sent and received to an Internet hosted Mysql Scores database, but when exported to HTML5 and the game is uploaded to the Internet host, the Scores database fails to work.

If I export the game as HTML5 to the desktop and run the game in the browser - the scores database updates ok. The scores database resides on the Internet host and is a Mysql database.

I'm thinking a webhost issue, but where to start?

I'm using source based on this article.

I didn't think any of the web/http commands work with an HTML export. The HTML exports are quite limited from what I've seen and heard. My app doesn't work at all in it.

Hello Kevin

Thanks for your reply.
I was thinking along the same lines that it wouldn't work.

I've just retested from a HTML5 export of the game from the latest version of AppGameKit to a folder on the desktop. (imac)
Scores are appearing at this test url when running the index.html file created after the export. So the HTML5 app is writing to the database on the webhost, when run from the desktop browser (Firefox).
I'm also closing AppGameKit totally before running index.html from the export folder.

A mystery at this stage.

The app lives here at the webhost

@Yoda333 - I've many apps that use php/mysql to host scores and I find that when using them via html5, none of them perform as developed - I don't believe that html5 supports php.

Hi ApkGames.Guru

Starting to think it's a file dependency issue if I can post a score from HTML5 ok from desktop but not when uploaded to the webhost. Only other thing I can think of is webhost configuration (.htaccess/php configuration or directory/file permissions)

If I can read the database ok from here, i don't think it's file/directory permissions or php config.

Hi

Even though SetHTTPHost(cona , domain$ , 1) should set a HTTPS connection

Firefox shows a http mixed active content error (Blocked) from the firefox web console
When run from webhost in browser


Still an issue here even though working ok from an Exported HTML5 app folder from the desktop.
When run from desktop in browser (scores upload ok)


I'm suspecting a .htaccess modification may be required and there is an article here i need to investigate.

I will let you know if I make any progress.

Hello

Following modification of my .htaccess file as per information in the article at the webhost

https://www.ipragmatech.com/enable-cors-using-htaccess/

The scoreboard is working from the hosted webapp and the firefox webconsole shows no errors thrown when scores.php is being accessed on the webhost.

Thank you for sharing @yoda333. I will have to give my app another go as an HTML export soon to see if it's work when hosted on a server, by amending the .htaccess file.
