Module: Store Files on Disk

Tidy off.
mime type has to be correct on the upload, check the header.
Be sure time zone is set correctly. (PHP and server)
Try a small file 20K, see if it works.

Thanks Scott.

> Try a small file 20K, see if it works.
Here's what I tried: uploading 5 files of different sizes, from 10KB to 200KB.

local	server	ratio
200102	38217	5,236
153987	29172	5,279
100429	19005	5,284
50442	9684	5,209
20179	3853	5,237
10032	1834	5,470

Each time the size is smaller, and I calculated the ratio: always 5 something. Could this be a clue?

If I run the Linux command "file -i" on the files, I get:
1. For the original files: image/jpeg; charset=binary. And of course I can display them on my computer.
2. For the files stored on the server: application/octet-stream; charset=binary. And I can not open them with any software (Gimp, etc). It seems to be a binary garbage. The first chars are the same in each, but not the same than for a JPEG file.

For your other suggestions:

In the Phorum admin I checked everything, did the sanity check, database integrity, everything.
Is that what you meant?

How do I do that? Where?

> Be sure time zone is set correctly. (PHP and server)
In php.ini this parameter was commented. I set it the same than the server. Still the same pb.

Thanks for your help, this is driving me crazy.

Tidy is a Mod in the module directory.
There is also a php extension tidy, which may be disabled or enabled.

I need to dig around for how to see the header info.

They are both Off.

Thanks. I'll try turning off modules to see if there's a conflict.

If you turn the Store Files on Disk mod = OFF

Are the files uploaded correctly?

It works now!
Not sure why, here's what I did:
1. Removed all modules which were not used, from the mods directory (all modules which were at Off).
2. Turned the module Off
3. Turned the module back at On.

Thanks for your help!
