I have members unable to download files in the sub forum and I am unable to find out why this is happening.

Also as the admin I am unable to download as well from the sub forum. Has anyone had the same problem?

Is this 7.3? If so, do the groups have sufficient access in the forum permissions for their group to download items?

Gizmo I am the admin and I can't download let alone the members. I have had problems since trying to get the who's online to work properly.

With v7.3, with the permission system, you can easily make it so even the admin group cannot do specific actions... including (i believe) downloading files...

From what it looks, you need to adjust permissions for the usergroups to be able to download from the specific forums.

What does "can't download" mean? Are you getting an error? does the browser time out? If there is an error what is the error? the more you can tell us about "can't download" the easier it is to give you a good answer.

Sometimes it times out other times it just has a message starting to download but nothing happens (I am using Firefox browser). Message that I am getting is "the source file could not be read. Try again later or contact the server administrator."

It is happening with all the files that members and myself are trying to download. The files are in the directory as I have checked that. I am just lost as to why this has happened since I have been trying to fix up the shout box issue.

I am also getting this error for mysql.

Script: - Line: Unable to connect to the database! - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'wic002my.server-sql.com' (10060)

As I find things I will post here.

That looks like threads is unable to contact the MySQL server - I would contact your host to see if they are having issues.

Ian,

It appears to be a problem with firefox because if I use the IE tab the file downloads and opens.

Someone has just told me that firefox has a few issues at present.

Thanks all for your help.

What version of Fire Fox?
