Sounds like a permissions problem with the next gen directory. It was probably set to something besides o755.
You realize that now I’m obligated to quote this thread, if anyone else inquires in the future, LOL.
Ask and you shall receive…

WP eStore –> Settings –> General –> Enable Debug Logs. Then do a test and look at the Download_Manager_Debug.log file.
In previous posts, I have made a suggestion on how this might be accomplished…

HOWEVER, this integration option is ONLY SUGGESTED FOR THE TECHNICALLY ADEPT, and is beyond the scope of the normal support channel.
There’s the problem…
You need 3 products; 1 for each of the 2 files, and 1 for the bundle. The product URL for the bundle should have the coma separated values of the 2 product ID in the bundle.
1. Maybe. Amazon does allow you to host static pages on S3…

The product ID could point to a static page (instead of a file) on S3, and the user could be transferred there, via an expiring URL. I’m not sure if the download manager code will do this without a slight modification or not. Maybe you could try a test, and we can make any tweaks if they are required.
2. We’ll have to wait a few hours for Amin to get in, so he can answer your lightbox plugin question.
Did we get any closer to what you were looking for?
The links that are emailed to purchasers are encrypted. They won’t ever know the “real” location of the file.
However…
If the file is stored on your server, there is no bulletproof way of preventing a search engine from “accidentally” indexing it. The best you can do is to give your files random names and use the robots.txt file.
If you are going to email the links to buyers, so that they can download the files, then you can use Amazon S3 to store the files and they will be more secure, than if you kept them on your server.
it would be helpful to have maybe 3 more lines above. But it looks like it is trying to open a file name that is made up of 2 URL that have been concatenated together. Does your product ID only have 1 URL?
Are you specifically referring to the PPV download option, or are you using PPV as a generic term for only allowing specific people access? The Amazon S3 option is the most secure, but only works for downloads, not PPV streaming.
If you use the encrypted download links feature of eStore, the source directory of the downloaded file will be protected.
Any file that a legitimate user can access can be inadvertently “crawled” by a search engine. You can use a robots.txt file to tell search engines what they can or cannot crawl through, but it is “optional” for them to abide by it. Amazon S3 files however, are immune.
Options –> Privacy –> Show Cookies. Cookies are sorted by site. Open the folder associated with the site in question, find the cookie and press Delete Cookie.
WP eStore –> Settings –> General please enable the debug logs and then try the download again. What are the last couple of lines in the download_manager_debug.log file?
BTW, the first year of Amazon S3 service is FREEE.
