Sync Addon Setup says "Please enter valid server URL" for Custom Sync Server settings
While setting up the Sync add-on, I selected "Use a custom server" setting. I wish to keep the syncing information on my own server space where my personal website is also hosted. No matter what URL i enter (the ftp one or the http addr) it still show a "Please enter a valid server URL" message under the textbox and the next button stays disabled.
Please help! This is important for me because xmarks is of no use to me anymore as it is blocked by our company firewall. Hoping "Firefox Sync" proves to be the solution!
Thanks in advance.

See this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Sync/1.0/Setup and this: http://tobyelliott.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/weave-minimal-server/
Or try the Google support group for Sync http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-weave
I go to open Mozilla firefox on my computer and it comes up "no valid URL". Please help
I can't figure out what to do when a "no valid IRL" comes up. Please help
What is unclear in the instructions is that you need to install BOTH sync server (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Sync/1.0/Setup) and auth/user/reg server (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/User/1.0/Setup)
Also, Once both are set up, you also need to either configure or disable captcha.
If you follow the "strong recommendation" to use the Weave Minimal server make sure to watch out for these pitfalls. Took me a while...
- Don't try to create a new account in Firefox. You must create the account on the command line on the server.
- Don't forget to take note of the long string printed by the create_user script, that's your SyncKey, and you need it later.
- In the server URL field in the "sign in with existing account" dialogue, you must enter a trailing slash, ie. if you installed Weave Minimal at https://myserver/weave, you must enter this at https://myserver/weave/
Good luck. It does work!
