Creating a download from mmy site

leethesign · #1 11-11-2008, 08:58 AM

Mornin',

I've created a new page for readers to download a copy of our magazine from the site, I've made a PDF zipped file and shoved it where I was told, but I've done something wrong somewhere obviously, 'cause I get "page not found error" when I hit the appropriate button.

(The "Download latest Edition" button is only on the home page at the moment)

Could someone have a try for me and see if it's just a delay or have I cocked up again?

Thanks gang

I'm wondering if you meant to call it "bv.zip." Did you mean "bw.zip"? That doesn't work either, but maybe it's something like that...

No Cap'n, I meant to call it bv.zip - is this not correct?

Gotta be something else then. Your link (I'm sure you know) says http://baywatchspain.com/bv.zip. That looks correct on the surface, so it's something else, probably simple. Is that zip in your public folder or did you by chance put it in a subfolder, like baywatchspain.com/downloads/bv.zip?

It seems to be in the right place - it's inthe "public_ftp" folder................ or should it be in the "public_html" folder?

public_html is the correct one

Thanks v. much - I'll whack it in there and give it a try

Well, I've tried that and the file's in place, but still no luck.

I can't even get it by putting the file's URL in the address bar.

Any more suggestions please anyone.

Thanks

This is impossible (almost)
Unless your bv.zip file permissions are not correct (should be 644) the problem can ONLY be a mistyping or the file is NOT uploaded.

Is this a main domain, or an addon ??

leethesign · #10 11-11-2008, 07:59 PM

I've checked the permission - that's correct, and the file is there.

This is a main domain, by the way.

I can only think I'm not doing something correctly in the file manager

If you wish send me your login details, and i'll have an inside look.

leethesign · #12 11-11-2008, 10:16 PM

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. Details sent

leethesign · #13 11-12-2008, 07:20 AM

Sorted now - the file was there, but I hadn't named it correctly-doh!

Thanks for your help.

It's too easy to blame the system ain't it?

Cheers

Lee

Glad to hear you got it straightened out, Lee. I will pat myself on the back for my first response above. :)
