Problems with Downloads....

[Rasyr]

I just installed Zen Cart on my server for the company I work for.

I put in a couple of test products and tried a PDF download. It worked and I was able to download the file.

A while later, I did several things including the following:

1) Moved the download file outside of the root (I have changed this back since then)
2) Changed templates
3) Setup Paypal IPN

Downloads are not working now. That attached image shows that error that I get when I try to download files.

I am on an IIS 6 server.

I have streaming marked as true, and redirect marked as false. and I have been trying to sort through all of the different download thread, but none of the suggestions seem to have worked for me.

I don't know what to try next. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Additional Note:

I tried zipping the PDFs and then uploading them, and changing the Options/Attribute stuff to use the ZIPs instead of the plain PDFs.

Now, it will download them, but says that it is an invalid file when I try to open it, even though it shows the right file size when I check the properties.

Does the updated file in this thread help?

Nope --goes from downloading a corrupt zip file to saying that the file cannot be read, kinda like in the image in my first post.

Yet, you said it used to work before you made a number of changes ... ?

I tried it once, right after I first setup the cart (and figured out how to add downloadable files). And it worked.

Then I changed the template (from the default to the glossy_black).
Then I added Paypal IPN

I also made a downloads directory outside of my web root and put the files there (but cannot remember if I did this BEFORE or AFTER I tested the first download). I just figured out a problem that I had been having with the directory being outside my wwwroot folder, so I have it outside there again.

But in its original directory or the one I created. It seems that installing the Paypal IPN or the template may have been what caused it to break.

Here is a screenshot of the error message I receive when I use the updated file from that link.

You have checked green light/s via download manager?
Your download folder has necessary .htaccess file?
Both your config files are correctly configured?
If all these are correct, then as mentioned before,
advice required from zencart dev i.e. ajeh, as she
wrote download module..
Have a feeling that htaccess file and permissions maybe
set on zencart install, but again, ajeh can verify this..

Yes, green lights all the way.

Yes.

Yes.

With the old header_php.php file in place, it will get between 83% and 99% downloaded and then stop, and then give the error message in my first post.

With the new file, that DrByte suggested I install, it immediately gives that error message (the second image I posted).

My boss would really like it if I could get this working for us before next week.
