    Default Download Webpage Forbidden

    I am new to all of this, but I am struggling with ver 1.3.9d

    I think that I have correctly set up an mp3 for immediate downloading paid by the FreeCharger. At least the download link button is visible. The problem is that if I click on the download button, my browser says that the site will not allow the webpage to be seen...it is forbidden

    I have ordered the manual, but it will take another week to receive it

    Default Re: Download Webpage Forbidden

    From the FAQ entry on download products...
    File Permissions for Downloads
    Files for download (ie: all the files in the "download" folder) should be marked as read-only. Setting to 644 should be sufficient.
    The "download" folder itself is typically set to 755, which is the normal default permissions setting for folders.
    If you are using download-by-redirect, then your "pub" folder needs to be read-write, typically 777 (or 755 on some hosts).

    I am pretty sure I can learn all this as I just leant XHTML and I am a C and C++ programmer, so I do not think php will be that difficult.

    Thank you, Mark
