Hi,
I have a product called Networked Giver Box.........it is full perm and gives out object/notecard,LM's, etc...........it can be placed any where in SL and my the Giver box's will contact my Server and give out anything I have in there so i can update my products all at once........
My question is that I am giving this out free to people and I want to be able to update the Giver box thru my server regularly.........the problem seems to be that if my server goes off wack or is pulled into inventory......when i pull it out again it needs to make a new server key which makes the product useless for updating unless i go to each and put in new key
Is there a way of doing this without the worry of loosing the Server key?.........Whatever I use HAS to be FULL PERM to work in the project I am doing.
Thank you for any help.

The only way to do this is to store the server key (or the entire communication mechanism) offsite, on a web page with a fixed address, which is not affected by SL going up or down.

If you have a web site (a web site that you own, a Facebook page etc. won't do the job) then you can do this, otherwie you'll need to get one firt. :)

Easiest solution would be if you have a web host account somewhere.

Then just have the giver box send a request to a php script on your web host with llHTTPRequest

The php script will email your in-world server (You will just need to update the php script if the server UUID changes) to send the contents to the person who clicked the giver box.
