FileMgmt plugin: Can't download files


Antonio

Anonymous
Hi,
although the files are in the appropriate file management directory
each time I try to download a file form the download area I receive an error message
sayin that the related file was not found!. Permissions are r-x for all users.
Anyone ever experienced such a behaviour?
Any ideas and/or solutions?
Thanks
Antonio

So just to confirm, you are able to upload the files fine and the files are moved successfully to the filemgmt repository directory.

Your problem is probally then the URL that you entered into the filemgmt config.

Hmmm...
I have installed filemgt, and everything works almost fine.
One prob though, when I try to DL a file, the file are named visit.php Rolling Eyes
Any suggestions to fix this? A bit messy to ask those who DL to rename each file Wink

Any help would be nice Mr. Green

This can be caused by a download manager!, are you using one? if so, disable it and see if your files download correctly.

Obviously if they do, its the fault of the download manager.

hmm you not by any chance using a masked url? I know when i started my Geeklog site this was the cause of many weird problems.

I wasn't even aware the filemangt plugin had a file called view.php!

Whats your url? I'll test it from my end to see if I get the same problems.

The script visit.php is the one called to actually launch the download of the file. It records the download and they sets the HTTP headers to the location of the file in the repository to launch the download.

It's possible your browser or webserver is messing this up. What is the site URL ?

No masked URL, the domain points directly towards my server..
Might it be some IIS/PHP problem? Hade som of those... :p

The sites in norwegian, and the DLarea are turned of, but if youd like ive made you an acc with filemgt rights
User/pwd Blaine, The URL: www.casperweb.net, link is named "Nedlasting"

Thanks for bothering Big Grin

The files on your site are quite large so it's hard to test but they appear to want to download but as you noted, default to the name visit.php which is the script name executing and not the name of the download file.

It looks like a problem with the headers that are being sent to the browser. I've installed this plugin on many different webservers (IIS, Apache, Zues) UNIX,Windows, OSX and browsers without a problem. I've seen this problem before while coding similar functions. I don't know if there is something else in your theme or site setup that is effecting the header output.
