Forum Angels,

I am revisiting ZenCart-land with a new installation after a two-year hiatus and cannot get a product to be downloadable.

This is a plain vanilla installation on a UnixLinux server, with Simple Scripts, default template and no customizations. Everything is current.

So far, I have set up a test category, with several dummy products (without special characters or spaces, and zipped). The product is uploaded to the download folder on the server. I have enabled downloads and set the php "download by redirect" to true.

When I make a test purchase, I click on the test download product I am directed to "product_info&products."

I click on "add this to my cart" and am directed to "shopping cart."

When I click on "go to checkout" I am sent to "checkout_payment."

I click on "continue checkout" and directed to "checkout_payment."

Here, I click on "confirm the order" and sent to "checkout success" without receiving a link to download.

I have added attribute names (color, size, shape) and attribute values (red, green, blue) but don't see how this changes the products' download capability. In Admin->Catalog->Attributes Controller, I do not have a download product or list, nor a green dot. When I try to add the download product again, I get this error message: ##Duplicate Attribute - Attribute was not added - : TEXT

I looked through this forum, and have read through the ZC Manual (written for v1.3.7.1) and the current update, and the FAQ's https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=71, and https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=292.

Also, instructions differ on whether " /pub" permissions should be "755" or "777."

Thanks in advance.
