Cannot run any Globes locally #61

Closed 3dmund closed 7 years ago

3dmund commented 7 years ago

When I open index.html in the folder globe, there is no globe. This is what it looks like, and I get the error messages logged to console in the bottom right.

I fixed the last error and now I just get this error. If someone can help that would be greatly appreciated. This is for a coding challenge due this weekend. Thanks!

You can't double clic on your index.html and expect it to work.

You need to run a server first, put your files in it, and access it via something like localhost:8080/globe/index.html, then it will work. Have a look at XAMPP for example it is very beginner friendly.

Good luck for your coding challenge this week end though.

If you have python installed, change to the root folder containing this repository, then run the following on terminal/command.exe: $ python -m http.server 8080

Then on your browser, type: http://localhost:8080

Or you could skip the CLI gimmicks using VNC or FileZilla or something easier to get up your testing server running.. I run my own web servers in my apartment xD
