 |
|
| I have a fairly strange problem. When I attempt to download an EXE file that is hosted on my Abyss Web Server using a web browser, it launches the application on the local server computer, rather than downloading to the remote computer from the browser. The remote computer only receives a "Cannot Be Found" error message. What is going on here? Any ideas? |

When you linked to the EXE file, did you put the link as:
| Code: |
"c:\progran files\abyss\htdocs\blah\blah.exe"
or
"/blah/blah.exe"
|
If you did the first, it launches it like you manually went to it through explorer (if you're using windows). Nobody else can use it because they're not on your computer.
Using the second should work, for that actaully links to the file.
If it wasn't that, I dunno. |

| Nope, it wasn't that. The link is correctly used, as your second example shows. |

Have a look at

Older versions of Abyss require you to tweak the CGI paths to avoid this problem, I believe the current version should not have this problem. Are you running an older version ? |

| No, I am not running an older version of the server, however, I do believe that the post helped to fix my problem, as the problem described in that post was perfectly applicable to my configuration. Thanks for your help. |

djholt,
All depends on your CGI configuration. Please send us your abyss.conf file to support@aprelium to help you modifying it.
As a general rule, if you use the latest version, remove / from the CGI Paths table (and any general paths, use patterns instead).
