2.2.7.8 MySQL Shared files problem

I just installed a fresh copy of Mojoportal 2.2.7.8 MySql on my localhost sandbox to test some features and ran into some problems with the Shared Files module.   When downloading a PDF I got a "File does not begin with a %PDF-" error.   So I uploaded a text file and tried downloading that.  The content that was received is as follows.



Positive number required.
Parameter name: bufferSize

Re: 2.2.7.8 MySQL Shared files problem

Hi Richard,

That error doesn't indicate any database problem. Do the files exist on disk? The error would make me think the file isn't there.

It works on my machine and on the demo site. Possibly its an issue with apache and moddotnet

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: 2.2.7.8 MySQL Shared files problem

Yes, I looked up the guid filename in the table, and found it on the hard disk, renamed to pdf or txt file and the file was intact, so the uploading is working okay.

I just downloaded the svn version, and ran it in vs2005 and it's working okay.   I'm going to move the svn version to my windows apache sandbox and see if it's an apache problem.   I haven't changed anything in my apache/asp_dotnet configuration or versions except the new mojoportal version.

I'll let you know how it works out.

Re: 2.2.7.8 MySQL Shared files problem

Hmmm,  Weird.    I just set up a fresh Apache 2.2.10 server with mod_aspnet 2.2 with a fresh compile of mojoPortal svn revision 4451 and a fresh mysql database and I still get the same problem where previous versions didn't. 

It's definately a problem with Apache, and is happening on the live machines as well as my testbed.

Re: 2.2.7.8 MySQL Shared files problem

Well it looks like something in mojoPortal doesn't like the Windows Apache/mod_aspdotnet configuration anymore.  Links to downloads work, but downloading using the mojoPortal module does not.  I was forced to switch the systems over to IIS temporarily.

I suspect it's the mod_aspdotnet module because downloads work fine on Linux using Apache/mod_mono/xsp2.

For security sake I'll switch the systems over to linux soon since the only reason I was running this configuration is that mono wasn't mature enough to run mojoPortal at the time.
