Remote Server

[cliffhaas]

Hello, We are running ZC 1.2.5.
We sell custom Videos and would like to have the files sold for for download on a seperate server from the ZC installation. The reason is that the videos take up way more space than the web site hosting company will allow. How can we reference the remote server as the URL to acces the download for the purchase?
Thanks to you all in advance. I know we are outdated with the 1.2.5 version but to be honest I am afraid of messing everything up with an upgrade.

In /includes/configure.php there is option i.e.

 define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

Set url or folder instead of 'download' as required..
have seen other posts on these forums
regarding similar circumstances to your own..
quick SEARCH may also help
AS ALWAYS, BACKUP EVERTHING FIRST, INCLUDING MYSQL, BEFORE
ALTERING config files

Thanks so much Misty. I suppose that the search I did wasn't extensive enough or on the right key words. Just curious, when using a URL instead of "download/" would you suggest using the full format of http://myurl/downloads/" ?

would you suggest using the full format of http://myurl/downloads/" ?

Not done this myself, so cannot guarantee success, but as mentioned in my initial post, saw similar query on previous forum post here.. suggest you search further AND/OR try a test site out with this new configuration before altering your existing site.. better safe than sorry me thinks.. HTH..

Thanks once again, when I have it done successfully I will update the post with what I did to make it work. Misty's help was invaluable.
