IP.Downloads Problem

Technologx · June 12, 2016

Alright I'm having a issue with IP.Downloads I had created a subdomain and the directory for that subdomain was files and I deleted what was in that directory which was the cgi-bin directory. Now when I click on the downloads/files tab on the front end of my site it takes me to a empty directory since I've moved the subdomain files to another directory. Can anyone tell me how to fix this I've re-installed IP.Downloads and reconfigured it and still have the same issue?

I fixed the issue what I did was uninstalled the app deleted the files directory and reinstalled the app and it worked.

The most cause this problem is incorrectly configured.

the files you delete, must be in the folder where you reconfigured.

You delete all the files in folder, and reconfigured to the empty folder lol...

In the empty folder, you need to add required files to work... That files you delete, upload it again to that folder (newest) and see results.

That's the thing I redownload IP.Downloads and it doesn't have a directory called files to upload.

Where you did download the package, and what files are you deleted?

I downloaded it from Invision-Virus because the file on here failed to extract twice and I downloaded it twice form here and like I said the only file I seen in the files directory on my server was the cgi-bin. I'm not sure if when I created the subdomain if it deleted what actually was there 1st or not.

Oh, u inderstand what you're trying now to do with the IP.Downloads. You want to copy in url files like ipb 4.x.

But what option you edited. Each options gives you information in admincp for what is it and what you need to do, to work correctly.

The setting in the acp are like this:

Local storage: download path: {root_path}/downloads

Local storage: screenshot path: {root_path}/screenshots

and that's the default settings.

This save as index.html and upload it to the download path where is your.


You have changed something else.

The link in the navbar redirect you to the download path...

Yea like I said I have no idea what's goin on I go to click the files tab on my forum it takes me to https://technologx.com/files and that directory is empty

I edited my post.

You have changed something else. Like your template, in admincp links in the navbar, and that happened when you click on the files you will be redirected to the /files/ folder.

Did you change the default ipb template, if not try with that skin.

Technologx · June 12, 2016

This is what my menu code looks like for my skin:

I don't see the navigation for files in your html...

Soluttion:

Try reinstalling, and see if it's working. (but don't reconfigure it yourself, and see if it's work), if it's work, then it's your mistake.

And

- Before you delete some files, please make backup first.

Remember:

Reconfiguring the downloads, to work like ipb 4x, as i detected require to have php skills. Cause of this problem is your mistake in reconfiguring the ip.downloads settings.
