I've set up windows 2003 for my server. But when I try to download a file from any browser the only file type I can download is zip. 95% of the files that I host are of other extensions. Does anyone know of a way to edit such in windows 2003 to allow it to download other file types? I can execute my asp pages and what not fine, but when I try to download other files, it throws out a 404 even though the file really is there. Example:
http://www.weeweeslap.com/track_exchange/upload/Cayenne-BandMiscool-t.nltrack
.nltrack extension, file exists but it does not download
http://www.weeweeslap.com/track_exchange/upload/wolverine2-bockzilla-t.zip
That one downloads just fine.
Are there any settings I should change in order for my downloads to work. I am processing the downloads through a download page but overall the line of code that initiates the download is:
Response.Redirect("upload/" & strDBFileName)
It worked fine in windows 2000 not sure why it wont work in windows 2003.
Thanks for your help!

| jfyi W2K3S is different from W2KS in that everything is turned off (with most restrictive permissions) by default, as opposed to on by default. This means you'll need to sit and enable a few things you want as opposed to them running straight out the box. Dunno if this is related, but if you're just getting your teeth into W2K3S, you'll hit it :) |

I figured you would have to modify it a bit. I use this routine quite often for forcing downloads and preventing leeching or direct linking.
You're welcome. |

click any of those there and in the details page click download. All download 28.8 kb in file size and none are openable.
This issue seems to be with the other problem you had where I shared a script for streaming the download. I don't think the exact problem is with the streaming but probably the upload feature you have. The way to test whether or not it is the download application is to manually put a couple of copies of known good files on the web server and modify the download.asp application to point to them. Download them and see what happens. If they come out fine then I would suspect your upload program to be messing with the files. |

http://www.weeweeslap.com/test_download.asp
or
http://www.weeweeslap.com/track_exchange/test_download.asp
I created a test file and when I go access it from the browser, I get an error:
Internet Explorer cannot download test_download.asp from www.weeweeslap.com.
Internet explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
soo I made a redirect file that simply has: Response.Redirect("test_download.asp")
And I end up with the following error:
ADODB.Stream error '800a0bba'
File could not be opened.
/test_download.asp, line 10
where line 10 is:
adoStream.LoadFromFile(FPath)
and the whole test_Download.asp file is:
<%
Response.ContentType = "application/x-unknown" ' arbitrary
fn = "TheSomberlain-Pinhead-t.nltrack"
FPath = "c:\websites\weeweeslap.com\track_exchange\uploads\" & fn
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" & fn
Set adoStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
adoStream.Open()
adoStream.Type = 1
adoStream.LoadFromFile(FPath)
Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read()
adoStream.Close
Set adoStream = Nothing
Response.End
%>

| Don't worry about the delay, I am a bit tied up myself which is normal during the work week. It does sound like your problem is related to something else though, I'll examing your site a bit more closely later this evening. |

| I can't get my IP address until I get home this evening. If you ping burningsoulsforum.com it will resolve to DNS2GO servers so there is no easy way for me to get it right now. |

| Got your E-mail, sent my IP Address. I downloaded the 1.45 megabyte track file you sent to me and I had no problem downloading it. File size and content was the same exact pre and post viewing/downloading. I suspect your upload program is screwing it up. |
