Hello all.

I have 2 servers up to date and there is the same problem on both, and not only for me, but for all people and all Browser (just stoping the usual questions :))


The problem ?

When i download a file from this adress : http://www.graphiks.net/projets/myPHPupload/details/b978d88e-ad4b-4ee2-ad36-873e2cb0b38e (updated link (2))

while it is downloading, i cant clic on another link untill the download is over.


I try on another serveur the same script, and i can visit the website while im downloading.



This did not happen before ... i dont know when before whas :)


Have you got a idea from where the problem comes from ?


Edit : i forgot the server specs :

Os : fedora core 6

Installed version of PHP (CLI): 5.2.6
Installed version of Apache: 2.2.9
Installed version of ProFTPD: 1.3.1
Installed version of autoconf: 2.61

Ps : The title of the topic should be : Download with PHP problem and not Download width PHP problem.

I fixed the title for you.

Good question. I see the same issue using Linux/FireFox2.

I wonder if the issue is a setting in your version of Apache?

Hello again,
I just tried rebuilding the apache conf with :

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build rewrite_confs

But, still the same (i restarted apache after)

I dont understand whats whrong ... its strange.

Sky
 
I have also re built apache... and still no change.
Perhaps its a problem with PHP ... my code, or php.ini ?

Is there a limitor in php.ini that could do this ?

I have now tested with another code for download, and still the same result.
I updated all per packages.

dont now what to do more ...

Hello again.

Well, i left this problem aside a while, but it is a real pain :)

So, here are the facts :
A link to download : (i dont whant this page to be indexed, pm if you have a idea)

The code that downloads :
PHP: 
            header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
            header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
            header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($File->file_realname));
            header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
            header('Expires: 0');
            header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
            header('Pragma: public');
            header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($urlFichier));
            
            ob_clean();
            flush();
            
            readfile($urlFichier);
            exit;

So, when you download that file, try to navigate at the same time on the website...

Thx for any ideas ... i dont understand at all...
And, its the same on the 3 DA servers whe have.

I have the impression that the server does not allow 2 php threads from the same connexion... is that possible ?

Thx,
Sky

When i add a session_destroy() juste before the download code ... it works fine.

I you know why ... strange i find.

Apparently you can only have one connection at a time with sessions. I've read before about someone having a similar problem, but with database connections.
