Title: PDF Displayed in browser
Post by: Garret on September 02, 2002, 02:24:35 AM
I feel like a dunce with this one. I am running a web app (myPHPNuke) within an ibay, we have placed a PDF file in the ibay also, and linked to it from myPHPNuke. The problem: The browser says it can't find the PDF file. Do I have to do something special here to make this display?

Thanks

Did you set the permissions on the PDF?  What does your Apache log file say?

Hey chris,

permissions are fine, logs say the file does not exist.

needles to say, I'm very confused.

Might be because its looking for the files in the /home/e-smith/files/primary/html dir? But then again, I'm just a stoopid noobie :-) .

This is really strange!

How about sharing the corresponding lines from your apache log?

...and you're absolutely SURE that you:

1. Have enabled html access for your ibay "workfitters2" ???

2. Haven't screwed up anything in your httpd.conf ????

3. Have correct filepermissions on your files as well as the directories inside "workfitter2" ???

What happens if you pu a simple GIF image at, let's say, /home/e-smith/files/ibays/workfitters2/html/test.gif ?
Will it show up?

If it does, what answer does a
ll /home/e-smith/files/ibays/workfitters2/html/* give?

Just keeps getting better and better doesn't it?

http://workfitters2.ruffdogs.com is the site
http://workfitters2.ruffdogs.com/test.pdf is where the file SHOULD be

and now to throw a wrinkle into things even more . . . .

http://workfitters2.ruffdogs.com/test

this tells me it's a server issue for sure. Is ANYBODY able to get a pdf to work on their webserver the way it should?

Thanks
