vb.org Archive - Major Additions - Links and Downloads Manager

The file local_links_init.php is contained in the includes/ subdirectory of the release zipfile and uploaded into the forums/includes/ subdirectory.

Open the file using a text editor and find these lines:

Code:

if ($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]) {

        define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]);

}

else {

// If you are running the IIS web server in CGI mode on Windows or if otherwise warned, uncomment and edit this line

//        define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/path/to/your/site');

}

You need to replace the line

Code:

// define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/path/to/your/site');

by the correct directory path to your web site, e.g.:

Code:

define('LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/data/www-root/mysite');

You can generally figure out what is your '/data/www-root/mysite' by going to your vbulletin/admincp/maintenance/php info page, and taking a look at the listing. I can't easily tell you what line to look for, as I do not have a windows-based IIS server available.

If you have problems with this, send me a PM with site details and a username/password for an account with admin privs on your board, and I'll take a look myself.

as in, it lists this there:

PATH_TRANSLATED:
D:\hshome\liamdunne1\jacksiesbnb.com\forums\adminc p\index.php

so...?:

D:\hshome\liamdunne1\jacksiesbnb.com\forums

I hate being a noob at things again......
:D

Yes tried with IE as well. Same result.

Very bizarre.

local_links_admin.php?set=settings <--- acess works fine

But when I hit update in IE or Opera

local_links_admin.php <--- page not found

Would you like me to take a look at your site? If so, I will need *full* access to your vb admincp. Send me a PM if so.

Hello everybody,

I've installed this great hack but I have a problem with downloading files.
I have set local_file_root to yes and local_file_root_prefix to a folder outside the location of my website Let's say for example: /home/mysite/mysite_upload
I have set recursively chmod 777 to this folder.
Then I have set upload_dir=/uploadsdir
So in theory, when I upload a file, for example story.doc in the site, I should have a new file on the server here (I have set force_redirect=1):

/home/mysite/mysite_upload/uploadsdir/1/871312035211987207.doc

And it's basically what happens. Everything is working fine for the upload. But when I try to download this file from the site, I get this error:

Not Found
The requested URL /uploadsdir/1/871312035211987207.doc was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have read this thread, I can't find the explanation for this problem. I have checked that seo_friendly is set to no. I have checked the read rights on uploadsdir, everything is looking fine.
Does someone have an idea on this ?
Cheers.

The problem is (I think) that you have set force_redirect to 1, which is telling LDM to do a browser redirect to access the file. However, because you are storing the files *outside* the web server directory tree, this is impossible. You either need to set force_redirect to 0 or store the files within the web server tree by having local_file_root set to 'no'.

Thank you very much Andrew. That would explain. I'll try your second solution.

I did see your post, but it was not clear to me what you were asking. Are you wanting someone to design your website?
