So, after long time of preparing our new server we have moved our forum to the new one. Everything is Ok, but seems after FXP from server to server .js files are in BINARY mode, all content goes in one line and errors with script on forum (for example vbulletin_quick_edit.js, Quick Edit doesn't work and so on). How to solve this, can I download files and reuplod once again in ASCII mode??? It will solve the problem?
Are you using a Windows server? I had a similar issue on Windows (and believe the issue is unique to Windows) so if you're using Windows server I can let you know what I did.
Well in IIS6 I couldn't get vB to work at all even using 'ascii' transfer mode. So I wrote something to take care of the CR/LF LF/CR thing. But then it still wasn't reliable on all pages. So on one troublesome page I tried opening and saving it in Wordpad and then poof it worked. (Opening and saving it in notepad made no change.) So I wrote a script to open all my text files in wordpad and save them. I run it on everything i serve on the web including other apps that use PHP else they just don't work right for me. I later realized but didn't investigate that notepad can add a byte order mark that messes things up so it isn't helpful, and sometimes Wordpad saves with a different encoding (ANSI UTF-8, etc) - I think the difference may be encoding but haven't checked.
