View Full Version : Bible application

To all those who are interested:

I'm what some of my friends would call a very religious guy. For a while, I've been searching for a good Java Bible program, preffereably KJV or NKJV (in my opinion, the most accurate). I've managed to stumble into a version called Go Bible. They had 2 setups that could have been used. First, you could upload individual books or you can upload the whole bible. The Rumkin uploader worked great for uploading the individual books, but would not upload the whole 1.5MB file. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

This took several hours of research, trial and error, and attempts. I wanted to host the files off my laptop, since the files aren't that big. I have a G4 iBook 1.2 Ghz on a 3 meg cable connection (not sure on upload). The first thing when I found out that the Appache web server defaults to text MIME type if it's unrecognizable. I then found out that you had to have a .htaccess file within the current site directory to set the MIME type. Still nothing. Finally, I had to config the httpd.conf and [Username].conf files within the /private/etc/httpd and users/ directory, respectively to enable override of the exisiting config files. I also had to edit the .jad file to prevent the dreaded "Invalid Descriptor" error. During this time, my college roommate decided to be a prick and screw up the port addressing on the router (he took the default http port 80 for himself) and forced me to resort to port 81). So yes, took me several hours of work. But once i got it running, it downloaded. And it worked!!!

So, ok, my laptop is still running. I can get a max of 30 or 40k for uploading, so I hope there isn't too much demand for this file. So now, I've decided to share the Good News (pun intended). Point your wap browsers to:

http://66.189.124.68:81/~Vadim/KJV.jad

If your phone won't support java files larger than 100k, then you're out of luck. This is a makeshift setup so if you notice anything strange, ignore it.

Enjoy!!!

PS to Mods: This application is freeware and I am not illegally distributing it.

Edit: The SMS feature will not work. I believe it locks up the phone. Current Sprint application developers will realize it's because this application doesn't have the $400 VeriSign Java Level 3 certificate needed to access some of the restricted APIs of the phone (mobile messaging being one of them).

Ok, for those who have issues with their browser timing out, go the same address, but without the "KJV.jad" part. Once there, select the "Right click to and select "Save Target As" link. I know, you're probably thinking "huh?". Like I said, it was all makeshift and was setup using ssh and vnc from my work. Good luck and IM me if you're still having issues.

I modified the JAD file again. I hope it works this time. Give it a try. Worst case scenario is that your phone won't support downloads of this size.

What errors? I've stripped the JAD file to the most basic components. Are you linking the file directly from the browser or are you first going to the page hosting it and clicking on the "Go Bible" Link? Possibly your device not supporting such large downloads? If it works for me, I need more details for me to know why it won't work for you.

Fyi, I did test it just now, and it still works for my MM-535.

Is that the address we are supposed to go to with our phone? If thats what we are supposed to do, I just get an error, 906. Got the 5600

I have a 5600 and I tried both addresses and with the ending on the link I get a 906 error and the other one I get a page cannot be displayed.

I came to discover that the jad file is suppossed to include the full path rather than the relevant path when pointing to the JAR file for Sanyo phones. Fixed that problem. Since I don't have a Sanyo phone to test with, it's guess work for me to get it to work. Give it a try now.

Update: Had a friend who has the 5600 test it out. Apparently it works for him now. For all those with the 7400 and 5600, give it a try and tell me what you think. Seeing how the Jad file is only a few lines long, I would venture to say that this app will download easily on other phones, too.

Just to clarify the directions, point your phone browser to http://66.189.124.68:81/~Vadim/ and click the link to download.

Works good! Thanks. Guess there is no way to put this on the sd?

is there anyway that you can split this up because it is too big of a file to put on my 7400 without deleting everything i have

The individual books as well as the full KJV file are in there. That's where I got mine. You can use the rumkin upload tool to get the small files loaded. The upload tool wasn't working with the complete version, hense why I went through the hassle that I did.

Doesn't work at all for me. I am on my PC now and attempt to download it and all I get isa little info about the program, nothing more. I selected Save Target as, and it just turns into a txt file.

For no reason at all, my server stopped working in the middle of the night last night. This is the first time I've had to manage an apache server. I was having issues with the .htaccess files. I have that fixed again (and hopefull for the last time) I've also added an SSH and Telnet client (since I heavily rely on my terminal myself). Enjoy.

FYI, this is being hosted on my laptop, so it's only temporary setup. I'll probably have it up for a week and maybe more if I don't end up needing my laptop so much.
