When clicking on the download link with a param for a file I get the error below - any ideas?

/fileshare/Download.aspx?resourceID=40

Server Error in '/FileShare' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /fileshare/Download.aspx

Hi there,

Could it be that you're browsing to the site with http://localhost as opposed to http://localhost/FileShare ?

I'm browsing with http://xxx.dyndns.tv:8887/fileshare

I've set login.aspx to be the default document

the link in the email looks as such

http://xyz.dyndns.tv:8887/fileshare/...?resourceID=46

In that case, I don't know what's happening. A 404 just means the page cannot be found. This is usually because of two reasons:

1. The path is incorrect, and you're referring to a file in an incorrect location (e.g. http://localhost/Download.aspx instead of http://localhost/FileShare/Download.aspx)

2. The file really doesn't exist at the specified location.

There are other situations where ALL your ASPX pages throw 404 errors, but that doesn't seem to be the case here?

Imar, thanks for leading me in the right direction again - it was the fact that download.aspx is not in the root directory but in the contentfiles directory

so I modified this to refelect that

        <add key="httpDownloadPath" value="http://xyz.dyndns.tv:8887/fileshare/contentfiles/"/>

So it really was a 404

Great. Glad you got it working.
