You can find out the location you need to use for your downloads folder using this file: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbdow...load&fileid=38

That will give you something like /home/user/public_html/ if you upload and run it from your public_html folder. Simply alter that to your downloads folder (must already be created) as such: /home/user/downloads/

Simply add this path to the "Path to Downloads" setting in your vBDownloads Manage Settings area.

Hope this helps

Do you have all the permissions set in acp Downloads/Manage Modules?

I tried to upload a test file on your site, but do not have permissions.

 

[djtone]

yep they are all set.

Ok I did get one to try and load, and I get a similar error and the download does not seem to show up, I will have to tag David so he can look into this.
