Setting up a Ringtone Site

Hey all,

I've searched this forums and have found one thread particularly relevant to my problem, but none of the suggestions in it helped me out. So, on that note, here's the problem:

I'm trying to create a wap site on my apache server that will serve up mmf files and mid files for me to download. I proceeded creating the site using php and wml, and so far everything seems to work in serving up the page the way I want it to. The problem arises when I try to download the mmf files I've added to my site (the mid files work fine).

When trying to download the mmf files, I get various errors ranging from "Internal Error" (which I assumed was a diskspace problem, but after much cleaning am starting not to believe) to "The requested page could not be displayed".

I then went to web2txt.co.uk to download one of the free ringtones to see if it my phone supported downloading mmf ringtones. It did download the "Batman" tune, but no sound came out when I tried to play iy, although the bars were jumping around on the screen - very odd.

Anwyay, I've messed with all the mime types, and I do have:

application/x-smaf .mmf
application/vnd.smaf

in my mime.types file for apache, however, this doesn't seem to help in getting me to at least download the ringotnes I have.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

well i guess your phone does not support mmf fıles ..
u used to code the download process with jsp and i didn't concerned about the file types and mime formats i just used

////////////////////////////////////////////
String url="the location of the file";
response.sendRedirect(url);
////////////////////////////////////////////

if the phone accepts the format of the file it downloads and runs the code. or you have to write the file binary.
i think you should try forwarding option like i said. it can be cure to your problems..because the files already has their headers embedded. so the phone can understand the mime format i guess. it is not different then try to open mp3 player with the different ending mp3.xtr3 with winamp.

I think that may be the case.. though to check if JSP would work I'd have to install JSP on my server, which I don't know how to do. Before I go to the trouble of figuring it out, I don't suppose you know a test site I can try it on do you?

Thanks in advance.

Odd.

I changed the extensions of the mmf files to mid, and now I can download and play most of them with even the vibration and led lights. However, I still can't download any voice ringtones even if I change them from mmf to mid - any ideas why this may be? I know it can support voice tones as my brother has some (he transferred them with a data cable we used to have)

Thanks

i am not sure if your true tone thing supports but .amr format is world wide i guess try that before doing something there is a converter in nokia's web site for true tone stuff hope it helps
