I’m going to ask a rather silly question… Are you using any download manager addons with the browsers?
Not so silly question… If you compare the PHP info reports for both servers, side by side, are there any other differences besides the maximum PHP memory?
And, during the download process, on both servers; is a progress bar shown? By progress bar, I mean that something that says “X bytes remaining, Y minutes/seconds remaining,” instead of “Unknown file size?”
First question:
No, no download managers used. Only the plain link
40M = PHP version 5.2.14
128M = PHP version 5.2.12
– Configuarion PHP Core –
disable_functions = no value in the 128M server
in the 40M server serveral different names like “system,exec,shell_exec,passthru,proc_open,proc_get” etc.
extension_dir = different
include_path = different
max_execution_time = 240 in the 128M server
max_execution_time = 200 in the 40M server
open_basedir = different
post_max_size = different
memory_limit = different
register_long_arrays = ON in the 128M server
register_long_arrays = OFF in the 40M server
save_mode_exec_dir = pathname in the 128M server
save_mode_exec_dir = no value in the 40M server
sendmail_path = different
upload_max_filesize = different (32M – 64M)
upload_tmp_dir = no value in the 128M server
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp in the 40M server
Is there some more in particular where I have to look at?
Second question, must try again but I think its the same – x bytes remaing etc.
I’m going to think about possible debugging strategies. The existing code (now it does, LOL) works on the smaller server, so it should be working on the larger one… or as my kid might say, “WT@?”
wzp,
do you know the (technical) difference between the Default download setting and setting Method 6?
I ask because in the 128M server the download (default) and unzip works in Firefox but not in IE. It downloads in IE but I got the “corrupted” file error.
With method 6 it works in the 40M server for both IE and Firefox, download and unzipped.
On the 128M server with method 6 it download in both but in both I got the “corrupted” file error.
ooh I see you are now “moderator” and not “member” anymore….
Yes I can tell you in about 2 hours. Am mobile now.
@Amin007 — Thanks for the promotion, boss!
@arts — Here is some pseudo code that may answer your question…
IF server allows fopen() for URLs {
SWITCH $DownloadMethod
CASE(2):
// Method 2.
CASE(3):
// Method 3.
CASE(4):
// Method 4.
CASE(5):
// Method 5.
CASE(6): {
IF Apache Gzip installed, disable it;
IF Resumable downloading supported, enable it;
Send file contents in 1 MB chunks;
}
DEFAULT:
Send file contents in 8 KB chunks;
END SWITCH;
} ELSE {
IF cURL library installed {
Download using cURL;
} ELSE {
Fatal error;
}
}
=======================================
Since the smaller server is your production system, and it seems to be working for now; is it fair to say the situation is not as “hot” as it was 2 days ago? I’d like to study the code a bit, and maybe try a few things. I will pass any suggestions on to Amin.
Or, if you are feeling really brave and adventurous, since you appear to be technically advanced, would you like to be able “test drive” any of my code suggestions? If so, please visit my site and leave me your e-mail address on a contact form:
h-t-t-p colon slash slash TheAssurer dot com slash contact
wzp, you are right… on the production server it works and it is now very “cool” here. I tested it today and all still works.
So for this forum, take advantage of this topic!
YES.. I am brave and adventurous… and a little crazy.. I will contact you.
My whole life is a “test drive”
