More Misery with Vorple

Authoring Inform 7
1

Trying to troubleshoot this, and failing. I wanted to test Vorple Tooltips. Rather than use the rather long test game I was using for checking out the audio and graphic features of Vorple, I loaded a different game, basically a stub, and did a Release for Testing to the same directory (the one in nginx) I was using before.

I now get a consistent 404 File Not Found error with the new game. However, the first game I was using for testing will load into Chrome. But the new one won’t load. As far as I can tell, the directory structures for the two games are absolutely identical, and the URL I’m using to load them is also the same except for the name of the game, which I retype manually. One game loads into Chrome, the other doesn’t, but their file structure is identical.

I’ve looked for typos and can’t find any. I’ve tried different variations. Nothing works. To check my Inform code I created a brand new game using the first example game in Vorple Tooltips. I still get the 404 error.

Again, I’m sure this is user error, but after half an hour of pulling my hair out, I’m stumped. Can someone suggest what’s going on here?

Which directory are you running nginx in, and what URL is giving 404?

The various test games are in Users > Jim > Documents > Inform > Projects > nginx-1.28.2 > html.

Ah, well. Mysteries of the silicon universe, part 473a. This morning all four of the games I dropped into that folder load into Chrome just fine when I enter

http://localhost/ProjectName.materials/Release/play.html

Suspicion now centers on nginx itself. Yesterday was the first time I had used it, and it may not have finished setting itself up.

As Gilda Radner used to say so fetchingly, “Never mind.”
