How can I set up preview tracks, so that shoppers can play a preview of an MP3 before they purchase?

The Digital Download facility in Actinic desktop products makes it quite easy to set up preview tracks for MP3s that you are selling. You have to create the preview clips yourself (using your usual sound editing software, or a free MP3 editor like Audacity), but everything else can be done within Actinic.

It will be easiest if you give the preview files names that all start the same, so that they sort in one block.

After creating your preview files, copy them to the Actinic site folder on your PC (usually C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\Sites\Site1),

To have Actinic upload them for you, from the Actinic menu
· Select Design,
· Then, Additional Files
· Click Add,
· Then, find and select all the preview files, and click Open
· Click OK

To add a link to a preview track to any MP3 product,
· First click on the product in the Actinic Content Tree
· In the Product Details pane, type [LINK] in the Full Description where you want the link to the preview track to appear
· Select the Links tab and click the 'Advanced Link' box
· In the Link Text field type ' Preview track'
· In the URL field, enter the filename of the relevant preview track.

Now Refresh the web site. The preview link will appear with the product description. Clicking it will play the preview track in the default media player.

How can I stop directory browsing of the DD (Digital Download) folder?

Actinic uploads a dummy index.html to the DD folder to prevent directory browsing. This works for most servers however, on an IIS server the default page is usually default.html.

To ensure that directory browsing is disabled for the DD folder when the server is configured to use a default page name other than index.html you should upload a dummy web page to the DD folder giving the page the file name and extension that the server uses as the default page name

When buyers attempt to download the ordered file they get the error:- Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

This may occur if the server uses a CGI-Wrapper that does not support non-parsed headers. Check the server HTTP error log for the error:-

nph-dl000001.pl malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.1 200 OK:

To resolve this problem rename nph-download.pl to download.pl in the site directory on your PC and update the site ( Web | Update Website).
