attachments not working

Hello itzmie,

for Attachments you first have to check if your Forum Permissions are configured correctly for each group. For Attachment there are two Settings: Post Attachment (= Upload) and Download Attachment (= Download). This decides if a user can see the Uploader or the Attachment in the forum itself.

If your Attachments in the Forum are visible but the files are not there I think its maybe a permission Problem. Log in with your FTP and look if attachment files are getting uploaded into the uploads/attachments/ folder. If not check, if the permission of this folder is set to CHMOD777 (you can do this with right click in your FTP Program "Set Permission" or "Set CHMOD".

If you have a WIndows Server you have to set "R-W-X" (Read Write Execute) for each Group with Plesk or RemoteDesktop. CHMOD is not possible on Windows Servers.

Sincerely,
Chris

Seems your Server has a Problem here. I suggest to consult your hoster depending File Uploads, maybe there's something blocked? GZIP normally just has to do with page output. Attachments are downloaded without gzip compression. But if your Server has Problems to show the page with GZIP On its absolutely no problem to turn it off.

I just have one Idea left: Do you have any rewriter active on your Server or in a .htaccess File wich should rewrite Graphics or that should provide some kind of "Hotlinking Protection"? Maybe that could cause the Problem. Or does your Server Software generally don't allow .htaccess Files? If so try to delete the .htaccess File from the uploads/attachments/ directory and try if that helps.

Okay, this looks like its definetely something with your PHP / Apache Constellation.

Do you have GDLib installed with all Modules?
Attachment Upload is - beside the GDLib Resizing - the same like the Avatars.

Oh okay, nice to hear the problem is solved now!

Sincerely,
Chris
