ya i see what you mean, if you download the file by other means it's ok? If so I guess it's figure out the server logs issue... btw is switching server to linux and option? I don't think they charge for that...

Yeah the file is fine until the download.php parses it...

Unfortunately no... I have ASP.NET sites as well... Confused

Plus I loose my unlimited MSSQL servers, at which time I have about 15 of...

I have the unlimited Windows Hosting with IIS7 plan; bandwidth, MySQL Servers, MSSQL Servers, websites, storage, etc ,etc are ALL UNLIMITED...

If I shoot you my php5.ini and download.php could you maybe compare it with yours?

Or Vise versa... I am not asking you to do this for me, but I am curious about how yours is setup compared to mine, and if that is private, then I understand; which is why I offered to send you mine. Mine is a Flight Sim gaming one, so I am not really trying to hide anything....

...yet! Laughing

I've never had to tinker with a php.ini file for that test server... so I assume I'm just running it in the default linux php5 setup for godaddy... whatever that may be.... i don't have access to that file, and don't have one of my own Smile

Just out of curiosity you might backup your forums module and try the one from the 2.4rc1, just see what happens Smile

You create your own php.ini file as you need it.

Hey Raven

... Is that a question? Wink

With the Godaddy Windows IIS7 Shared hostng plan, they have the necessary PHP components installed and configured; but for basic PHP. Basically, it is a small step above the safe_mode.

In order to change any of the php.ini settings, Godady cannot allow the users to adjust the php.ini file itself, for several reasons, but mainly because it is a "Shared" environment, and that could mess up other's websites. If I wanted to run the same environment AND have access to the php.ini, I would have to either switch to Linux server or purchase a Virtual Dedicated or Dedicated Server. kaching!

So they have it set up so that users can create their own php5.ini and load it into the root directory of their website. From my understanding, this is all part of the new functionality of PHP5, as well as IIS7 ( Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!). This then allows a Per-User basis for customizing their own php.ini settings.

Is that what you were wondering?

Already have tried that, but I think that I should try again, in light of the new .ini seeming to work correctly...

I'll let you know...

Yes, that is what he was referring to.

Each user can run their own LOCAL copy of php.ini. It has no effect on other users. If that's what they're telling you then you definitely need to come host with me Wink

. If that is a winblows server requirement then you most definitely switch to Linux as you are being severely restricted. I also run an open php environment. Developers have the environment that they really need to do their job.

Yes each user can set the php settings for their own site, via the custom php5.ini.

It is not a requirement, but what is necessary for a "Shared" hosting account, when running PHP. It is the same as adding custom a Web.config file in ASP.NET. I could run a Dedicated or Virtual Dedicated Server and then have access to the orignial php.ini, however this is very expensive.

The are several problems with that.

I have a couple ASP.NET sites that require M$SQL and IIS7.
I have a couple stand alone M$SQL Servers that I am using; currently about 15
PHP runs 99.9999% so it is not Windows restricting it, it is how GoDummy has initially set it up.
If you could offer me UNLIMITED MySQL Servers, M$SQL Servers, IIS7, Disk Space, Bandwidth, Websites, Free Tools - like Google Webmaster and Web Statistics - and a pocketful of other goodies, all for $180/year, then I am onboard!

Other than that, at the moment I am broke, otherwise I would get the Linux environment package as well...

I would also, like to take a moment to point out: Rolling Eyes

This is exactly why I didn't want to mention GoDaddy at first! The initial thread seems to get lost in GoDaddy, instead of the problem. Not complaining, but just being "obseverant". Laughing

So while I have everyone's attention... Anyone know why I can now download, but the download.php (I think is the culprit) is re-writing my .zip file into code from the page?

Thanks

By the way, can a moderator split this post?

Mark the "Jumping Text Box" as [SOLVED], and leave the "Attachments Download Error" open?

I was just thinking that someone else needing help could find a resolution easier, if they too, have the textbox problem...

Again,
Cheers Cheers

and Thanks to all who have replied,

Well, as I have stated... I can't stand when threads just end.....

So I fixed the issue.... (Sort of)

After ample help from ALL over, I lost my ASP.NET and MSSQL accounts so I jumped my environment from Windows IIS7 to Linux... Everything works like it should...

I wish I could have found the solution for the Windows environment... Sorry to anyone looking for the answer...

***EDIT***
Thanks to EVERYONE for all the help! You ALL Rock! Cool
