digital downloads redirects to dl.php and forces empty file download of dl.php

[Inetbiz]

Here is the problem, whmcs our billing software allows binary products. it is

stored in /home/sthawk/downloads/* The php file is

https://www.hosting-4-creloaded.com/go/dl.php?type=d&id=4

 

The files are group owned by apache user nobody with permissions of 664

 

When you check out and purchase any downloadable product, you end up receiving a download of dl.php empty file instead of the digital product.

Have you got this line in your configuration.php

 

$downloads_dir = "/home/sthawk/downloads/";

[Inetbiz]

yes I do have that setting.

 

$templates_compiledir = "/home/sthawk/templates_c/";
$attachments_dir = "/home/sthawk/attachments/";
$downloads_dir = "/home/sthawk/downloads/";

The files are group owned by apache user nobody with permissions of 664

I know it sounds stupid but try chmod to 777

And chown it to user and group of nobody

 

You would be safer to install suphp

[Inetbiz]

I would never do that. That is just opening up a can of worms. 775 user/apache group and files are user/apache group 664 this gives group rwx and group rw permissions.

Yes I know that but it was only to test it.

Even though you have the directory under the public_html another user on your server can still reach the files.

 

If you have root access re-compile your apache with suphp and suexec and it should solve your problem.

No I have open_basedir restrictions. You must be the owner of /home/username in order to view it unless you belong to apache group
