Mod Note: This can stay as it appears to be a legitimate reason for writing a torrent tracker, but if there's even a sniff that this is for the purpose of copyright infringement I won't hestitate to remove the thread.

On topic..

HTTP Error 406 - Not acceptable .. Basically your error message is telling you that the request your made didn't have the correct "Accept" headers to get something from the server you queried. Could be lots of things, the MIME type, language, encoding, etc.

like i said its for my family so pics of my kid and house car dog and vids of our b*days and xmas are not copy rited :) and i dont know much about this error or how to fix it.

what i know is the tracker needs to be eg: http://123.123.123:80/family/torrents/announce.php

on mysql its set to eg: http://123.123.123:80/family/torrents/announce.php
the torrent file is set to eg: http://123.123.123:80/family/torrents/announce.php

if i change :80 to :2080 then i get a different error: No input file specified.
so i think :80 is closed or something???

also will it work like this or does it need to be http://www.blah-blah.co.uk:80/family/to ... nounce.php

i have a spare domain name if i NEED to use it to get it to work but i would rater use the eg: 123.123.123

thanks for help

blah-blah and 123.123.123 are not my real site addresses! :) used for show



also is there a code i can input to show the name of the person loged in?
