Download link not appearing

I am setting up a new store and I'm having a problem with my test orders. I add the pdf item to the shopping cart, it gets charged correctly, but the customer gets no download link.

I'm using Zen Cart v1.3.9h
No addons.
file is in the download folder
redirect is set to on as we're on a linux box
/pub is set to 777 (also tried 755 with no luck)
enable downloads is set to true

Am I missing something?

Re: Download link not appearing

What's the URL to your product page?

You've probably not added the download file as an attribute to your product, or you didn't "select" that attribute before clicking add-to-cart. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=71

Yes, the attribute is added and the little button next to the file names is showing green.

Re: Download link not appearing

So, you have an order showing for this purchase in your admin. What's that order's status? If it's "Pending" then the downloads won't be visible.
Pending orders are those for which payment hasn't yet been received. You need to change it to a higher value (ie perhaps Processing or Delivered) for downloads to be accessible. This is to prevent people getting downloads they haven't paid for.

I had it set to processing and even bumped it up to delivered and update to see if that changed anything. Still no go.

I also have download time set for 365 days and 6 times.

Re: Download link not appearing

Within your order, in the admin, can you see the file listed?

Re: Download link not appearing

Guess what. I started over and got it working. I think what I missed was designating it as a document-product. For some reason, I was using general-product.

Re: Download link not appearing

Um, no. Must be something else.
Downloadable products work just fine as Product-General.
