Download Manager not working properly?

[enoch]

i've uploaded a .pdf file (e-book) to my website, under the download section and everytime i test the download link it says "website not responding" like the servers down.

why is this? can i not put pdf files up? also when i upload an image it gives me errors ...?

i paid the extra money JUST for that plug in alone really... need some help!

thanks in advance :)

What are the errors you get when trying to upload an image?

[enoch]

i tried to copy and paste...

it's saying p_13 settings on line 290 which is the insert image command...

copy($image['tmp_name'], $imagesdir . $imagename);

thanks for the quick reply...

[enoch]

failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/thesirkl/public_html/plugins/p13_download_manager/p13_settings.php on line 290

permission denied?

[Ziad]

You will need to chmod this directory to 777:
./plugins/p13_download_manager/images/

[enoch]

still getting the error... i actually tried that while i was waiting...

i tried like 10 times now...

any other ideas?

[enoch]

oops...

my bad... works now! i did the chmod on the wrong file...

THANKS!

[enoch]

still getting the Server not responding error though?

any ideas on this? lol

sorry... i've been working on this all day adding all kinds of stuff to it... this is the first set of problems i've ran into that i couldn't handle.. :(

[Ziad]

So the images are working, but not the pdf right? I've never even uploaded a pdf via the download manager, I'll have to look into it.

[enoch]

yes, you're correct.

BUT... it may have something to do with our Database though... Our server only allows 50,000 Queries for Databases unless you've got a Dedicated Server... And i guess we've just hit our limit! The Forums are showing an error so i looked at pHpMyAdmin and sure enough - we hit it. So looks like we get to spend another $100 for a new one tomorrow... ughhhh...

I'll let you know if this is the problem with the uploading... thanks for your help!

[Ziad]

Wow, that's really expensive. You should look into a different host.

[enoch]

how much would a dedicated server cost on average? i was told this was normal ? :(

plus we JUST got this site back up due to the old owner disappearing... we lost the site but luckily (i was the admin running it) i downloaded a back up .SQL file and edited it so i could atleast save the members... he was supposedly paying $250 ?!?

So - the site went down and it took about 2 weeks just to get half the members back... so switching servers might be a bad move for us... :(

but i'd still like to know how much the average server costs for dedicated ones?

[Ziad]

Well Subdreamer.com doesn't even have a limit to mysql queries, and it's no more than $10 a month.

[enoch]

http://startlogic.com/dedicatedserver.html

that's our host... vBulletin just put them on their Bad Hosting companies because of all the b.s. we've went through with them lol

They couldn't upload our back up yet they wouldn't let us use SSH/TELNET

there's one guy that's real cool... the rest are straight up @$$holes though...

[enoch]

see our old host (hostrocket.com) was the same way (no limit to MySQL queries... we paid like $14 a month and their Customer Service was EXCELLENT!

The only reason we didn't get them is because both of our credit cards were getting denied? Wierd... because they had over $2,000 on them.

But... Startlogic seemed like a good deal too... guess you learn...

[Ziad]

Check out this host, they are the best:

[enoch]

too late now lol

we just moved servers to HostRocket.com... we get unlimited disk space about 60 gigs of bandwidth as well... we've used them before and they were great... they never heard of a limit to queies on a DB either lol

so either way im alot happier...

thanks for the info tho!

[enoch]

hey SubDuck... finally moved everything and got SubDreamer up and running from the back ups... took a while since the DNS had only changed for certain i.p. addresses.

Anyways i wanted to ask this question again... lol

the DOWNLOAD "GET FILE" command is making the page come up as a 502 connection timeout page... do you know why it's doing this???

thanks for all the help thus far!

[Ziad]

For all types of files? Or only with PDFs?

[enoch]

not sure... def. for PDF let me check other files... i'll get back to you tonight...

[enoch]

i've tried everything SubDuck... still nothing!

mp3's, pdf's, .exe's, zip's, etc

help me please! :confused:

[Ziad]

Try this:

Upload a zip file (without a thumbnail and image) and name the zip file "test". Does the upload work?

If it doesn't, then what error are you getting?

If it does work, then go to the settings page of your Download Manager and click on the file 'test' (the file you just uploaded), it will then show information about that file. What does it say under the file browse button? Is there a download link, or does it say "No file to download"? If there is a download link, what happens when you click it?

To add to this thread... if possible, I can still not upload PDF files using the download manager. Was this ever fixed?

[Ziad]

The next version of the Download Manager (which will be released after SD115) will have support for PDF's.
