Good evening,
I have spent a lot of time with Frantz (french forum) to find out a solution. I have also looked through the entire forum for a solution. I feel desperate.
My problem is the following : I select one picture and click Add to Favorites. Then I click on My favorites and click dowload as Zip file. The pictures.zip cannot be uncompressed. 7-zip (or whatever) says that the header file is corrupted.
It works perfectly on a public website (http://liminaires.free.fr) but it does not work at home nor at my office.
My local Web server is Wamp 2.0 - PHP Version 5.2.5
Windows Vista
IE7 or Firefox (latest versions)
Php-zip.dll is activated.
Phpinfo is attached
We have already compared our configurations with Frantz (French forum). I can reproduce this problem on several different PCs (windows XP) at my office.
I cannot find out how I can solve this problem and it is very (very) urgent for me to solve it. The aim is to present a photo gallery at my office (Xampp server - virtual machine).
I can only give access to my PC at home. Let me know if you can help me. Thanks in advance.
Post an example of the corrupted zip file.
Please find enclosed pictures.zip.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
There's some strange characters at the start of the file. It's not whitespace. Perhaps a BOM or something. Does it work if you switch to english or change theme?
That's right, the header of the zip file is corrupted.
It does not work either in english.
Just let you know that I have reinstalled (fresh install) coppermine => same problem
I have modified chaoticsoul template but same problem occur with classic theme.
PYAP (from the french forum) told me that it should come from my server (Wamp). But I also tried with Xampp (another server).
Try changing
$zip->download_file();
to
ob_end_clean();
$zip->download_file();
in include/archive.php
$zip->download_file(); does not exist (?)
Sorry, I meant zipdownload.php
You are fantastic! Thank you so much. Can you explain to me quickly ?
It makes sure nothing is sent to the browser before the zip file begins.
@Nibbler: should this go into the core as a precaution for others with similar issues?
@Nibbler: ignore the above question - I just performed a checkout and noticed that you already added your code to the core both of cpg1.4.x as well as cpg1.5.x. Should have done this before posting my silly question, sorry.
Problem reopened:
It works on Windows Vista (IE7/Firefox) but it still does not work on Windows XP (IE6).
Thanks for your help!
Merged you new thread with the existing one. Don't double post; there is a reason why solved threads don't get locked immediately: you can still reply to them if it seems like a solved issue needs to be looked into further.
I find it hard to believe though that this should be related to the client OS: after all, the zip file creation happens on the server, not on the client: how could a client OS possibly interfere then? Anyway, tested this on Windows XP Professional German SP2 with Firefox 2.0.0.11 and IE7.0.5730.11 on your site - both work as expected, the zip files are perfectly OK.
I confirm : Internet Explorer 6 seems to be my source of annoyance!
I was having this same problem and I did what nibbler suggested. and now I get this problem
! C:\Documents and Settings\alans\Desktop\pictures.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
any suggestions?
- Attach that file to this thread
- Post a link to your gallery
my gallery - http://ad6storieshigh.com/gallery/
thanks
Zip File is fine !!!
Also I downloaded same file my self and it's fine too!
Ya I guess you're right, that one does work. I just downloaded another one with 6 files and got a corrupted error again.
here it is http://www.ad6storieshigh.com/uberdownloads/personal/pictures(3).zip
500kb limit on the attachments. hope that helps.
Ok it complain about end of file !
try to re-download the file.
well...weird, it works. thanks, hmmmmm interesting.
Works as expected for me: i added 6 random pics to my favorites and was able to download them just fine. The archive is intact.
You might be running into limitations on your client.
Yup I guess that's what was happening. Thanks for helping me I'm glad it's all working.
I too have the same problem. The Zip file is corrupted and I can even tell you why. The zip file starts with some kind of crazy <iframe> instead of having a PK in the first line. The bottom of the zip is also looking strange. I already had ob_end_clean(); before the $zip command, so this solution is not working for me.
The only two files that contain this <iframe> are the Fullsize Access plugin, which I already deleted because it didn't work on Microsoft server and the Lightbox plugin, which I cannot delete because I need it.
Could you kindly look into the attachment!
Thanks
For me the only plugins I have installed are jupload. so maybe there's another file that contains that. I'm not sure really, you sound better qualified to deduce what that means
aldog, upgrade asap.
<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.13 modpack v2 (stable)--> is not safe anymore. Version 1.4.18 is the latest stable.
Hein
whaoo. thanks for the heads up, I haven't been paying attention at all.
