What was done before the problem appeared?
Testing functions of downloads
What was done to try to solve the problem?
Several different methods of packing, archiving, zipping, uploading etc files
De.scription and Message
Our of curiosity after getting an error, I tried several methods to get a file uploaded to my site.
It seems that any type of zipped or compressed file gets destroyed if it's uploaded, passed through, then downloaded through integramod 1.4.1
First I tried adding a .rar file as an attachment and the member complained that the file was corrupt and wouldn't work.
So I tried it again, changing:
a) Compression size vs. quality
b) Type of file eg; .rar , .zip etc
c) Method of compression eg; Right click, "Add to xx.rar" , Opening winrar, going through the wizard to create the file etc,
Nothing would work
So I tested the file locally and it worked just fine
Then I uploaded the file to my server and used a clickable link to the file and it downloaded and opened just fine.
Then I gave up on that and tried to add it as a download through ACP. After getting a ctracker message I entered debug mode as normal and fixed that problem. Then went through as usual and added the file. When I went to test download the file I got a strange error about donation. See post [url=http]HERE[/url]
So I went to the download section normally and uploaded a file as a member would of just an image. It worked successfully and I was able to download it.
So then I went and did the same file using the regular upload method and I was able to download it fine, except, like before, the file had been destroyed.
So, I think there is a bug with Imod 1.4.1 when handling zipped or compressed files. I don't think it's uploading/downloading the complete file.
I use WinRAR 3.70 beta
Zipped file contents:
index.html 5kb
images folder 149kb
.psd file 548kb
.txt file 2.2kb
.css file 17.6kb
Error received when unzipping:
[code]! C]
With pop-up box saying "No archives found!"
I can upload the file to my server and use a link to point to it and download and unzip just fine, only when it passes through imod does it get destroyed.
Any ideas? or perhaps a better archiving/compression tool?
