Unable to download files from site

[brlarsa]

Hi
People are unable to download files from my webserver. A file that i know is about 70KB end up 0 byte when downloaded.

My webserver config is:
Windows XP pro
Apache/2.0.39 (Win32) PHP/4.2.2

Example of file to download.

http://82.182.134.83/larsa/Farm_replay.rpf

The same file compressed with rar

http://82.182.134.83/larsa/Farm_replay.rar

And heres a whole bunch of rpf files

http://82.182.134.83/replays

The file is a replayfile from the game Ghost Recon. For watching a game afterwards.

Is there any modification in httpd.conf to do to make the downloads possible?

Hope anyone can help me :blink:

Regards

I'm getting timeout errors for that server.

The sever has been down for a couple of hours. Its up and runing again.

My guess is that it's some mim-type encoding problem. If I just click the link, I get a blank window in FF or IE. When I right-click & save-as, my only option is to save as a text file. This is out of my area of expertise, but something might turn up by researching

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_mime.html

and related links.

Hi

My guess is that it's some mim-type encoding problem.

This was my first thought too. But today for both files the returned [tt]Content-type[/tt] is text/plain. ( Yesterday the .rpf had [tt]Content-type[/tt] application/replay. ) So I think there is something else.

If you make the request with [tt]telnet[/tt] and specify HTTP/1.0 protocol ( or send a [tt]Connection[/tt] header with close, to not default to keep-alive ), then will see, that the server send the HTTP response header then the connection is suddenly closed.

Have you any firewall installed ?

Yes i have a Netgear router/firewall

Hi

Could you disable it for port 80 ( or at all ) while you give it a try to download ?

I could do it when i get home. I am at work now.

 

[brlarsa]

Do you think its got anything with the firewall to do?

Hi

No idea. The webserver seems to work, so the next possibility is firewall. Another thing I would try, is to serve that file with something else then Apache. On Linux with the [tt]netcat[/tt] command line tool, like this :

cat http_header.txt Farm_replay.rpf | netcat -l -p 80

But no idea for Windows. If you already have another webserver, you may give it a try.

By the way. Look at the access_log and error_log. Maybe is something loged. If nothing usefull, change the [tt]LogLevel[/tt] to debug, to log more details. ( That one refers to system log, not the access. )

Hi
Yes i got a linux server aswell runing Trustix.
I use it as a TeamSpeak server and webserver.

http://www.larsa.se

I have no problem downloading various filen from that one, including *.rfp files.
I will change to LogLevel on the Windows server to see if something turns up that could be of interest.

Thanks for the help so far.

This appears in the error log when atempting to download a file from the server

[Fri Nov 11 13:06:10 2005] [info] (23496)Overlapped I/O event is not in a signaled state. : core_output_filter: writing data to the network

And this in the access log

82.182.134.83 - - [11/Nov/2005:13:06:10 +0100] "GET /replays/old/1390_replays.rar HTTP/1.1" 200 62862669

And turning of the firewall didnt do it.

Any ideas?

Hi

Hmm... That is an info level message, so should not have too much related to the error. Anyway a googling on that message may reveal something.
No more idea for now.

Googling now.

By the way, the debug LogLevel didnt tell anything about it.

Hi
I tried this one.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/core.html#enablesendfile

But i was unable to start apache after adding EnableSendfile Off in httpd.conf
