Apache screwiness
I have a bunch of mutlimedia files for download on my personal website. However, they're not downloading. Whenever I try to get one, I get exactly 10 "error 200's" in my log (which I thought meant everything was good) and then I get a popup message from my browser that "the document contains no data." Now, I have these files located on an NFS server, and a symbolic link to that directory under my web site's root. Before the upgrade to SuSE 8.2 (from RH 7.3), I had these files on a local drive, then linked, but I can't see the difference, especially since my page contains a script that reads the directory on every page view, and it grabs all the details just fine. http://www.davidkrider.com/files.html Anyway, I put one of the files into the root and linked it to test with (as you can see on the page), but I get the exact same behavior, so I've taken NFS out of the picure. It "feels" like a mime issue, but it's hard for me to imagine that SuSE shipped their apache config such that it can't be used to download multimedia files. On the other hand, I have no idea what's going on. Any ideas? TIA, dk -- David "Dunkirk" Krider, http://www.davidkrider.com Acts 17:28, "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being."

Hi David, I just tried to download some of the files here and they came down just fine. I'm running Mozilla 1.4b on SuSE 8.2. Perhaps it is on the client side, not the server side? -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

Woah. SuSE 8.2 with stock Galeon (I actually get 10 of these): 65.170.88.253 - - [14/May/2003:13:12:04 -0500] "GET /test.mpe HTTP/1.1" 200 12679 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.8 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030317" Using XP with it's stock IE: 65.170.88.253 - - [14/May/2003:13:10:26 -0500] "GET /test.mpe HTTP/1.1" 200 12787 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" As you can see, I get "200" on these, but then I get a "download failed" or something. That you can get them is really odd. People are linking to these from all over the net (in personal comments and such; it's low key, and it's great; I think this is what the net is all about). If you could mail me your IP address so that I can associate good downloads in my logs, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! dk

David, The IP address that comes from my proxy at work is 162.115.100.197. Don't know if that will help you or not. Regards, Paul

Paul, I really appreciate that. Everyone, Turns out it was client issues. As everyone said, they had no problems. I stole the mimeTypes.rdf file from my Mozilla 1.3 install and overwrote the Galeon one. That seems to have fixed my problems. I still don't know why my XP virtual machine was goofing up as well, but I really don't care about that. ;-) Regards all, dk

Which client? And maybe you can share the logs. Peter

Using IE 5.5 through a proxy at work, the test.mpeg file downloaded just fine. It looks like a browser issue instead of a server issue. Regards, Paul

Well that makes two of you. I guess I'm going to have to start believing the server logs, which are telling me things are fine on that end. I'm just mystified that it's failing on both my clients. Hmm... I'm wondering if my company has put something in place that prevents these sorts of downloads. Now that I think about it, I can't watch quicktime trailers (via Codeweavers Plugin) anymore... I even see someone uploaded a file just now. If it was from this list, THANKS!

Well, crap. I just had someone else download the test file, and there's no problems. I don't know WHAT'S going on now, but it's apparently all local to my machine. Sigh, dk
