Re: Fw: VLC web player does not work when using apache - please advise

[traveller <t8av@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Yehuda,

If the access was successful, then it means it got to the VLC player on browser side. So why doesn't the player show the file?

As I already wrote in my first Email, the player works fine from any path that is not http:localhost....

Tom.

I looked at the Apache access log file and it seems that Apache receives the request from the VLC player:

[25/Apr/2012:08:31:22 +0700] "GET /root/95180.avi HTTP/1.1" 200 1165938 "http://localhost/root/why.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0"

Can anyone please help me to understand what it means?

One piece at a time:

Time of request: [25/Apr/2012:08:31:22 +0700]

HTTP Request Method: GET

File Requested: /root/95180.avi

HTTP Version Number: HTTP/1.1

HTTP Return Status Code: 200 (Success)

Returned Content Size: 1165938 (in bytes)

Referring Page: http://localhost/root/why.html

Browser: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0" 

This says that the request was completely successful.
