Very odd Attachment issue, unable to open them.

[verbs]

OK.....

Weird attachment issue. I had a member upload an attachment, and there were no problems with the upload.

It can be seen here:

http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/for....html#post9144

It is titled LBM 8-1-2007.pdf 90kb

Now, I tried opening it while logged in as an administrator, and I got the internet explorer message asking me if I want to open or save the file, but the file it was asking me about was the wrong file! For some reason when I click on this attachment as the admin it's giving me a different file to open, not the one that my member uploaded.

Here's a screenshot of the issue:





Now, another issue, is none of my other members can open attachments for whatever reason.

They get this error message:

William Wallace, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I checked the attachments and usergroups sections, and forum permissions in admincp and couldn't find anything that disallowed the opening of attachments. Any suggestions on where I can find out how to allow my members to see attachments?

For the permissions issue make sure they have permission for that attachment type under Attachments -> Attachment Permissions.

For opening the wrong file, did you change anything directly in the database such as attachment ID numbers? Everything is referenced by an ID number. If these were changed in the attachment table and not in the post table and the files stored on the server weren't renamed, you would get this issue.

Regarding the first issue, there is permission under Attachments-->Attachment Permissions

This is all I see. I tried the default permissions and custom permissions.

Use Default Permissions for this extension (Note: this will delete any previous custom permissions set)
Use Custom Permissions
Help
Custom Attachment Permissions Can use this extensionYes No
Max Filesize(in bytes)

There are several configuration options that limit the maximum size of uploaded files. Consult the Quick Stats on the your main admin cp page for your current settings.




Regarding the second issue, I have not changed anything that I'm aware of attachment-wise, the only thing I can think of was that I imported some attachments when converting from Simple Machines Forum to VBulletin......

But no attachment changes since then?

Edit: Fixed it, VBSEO re-write rules ended up interfering with the attachments.
