it is very strange the url I get of uploaded files:
"/mysiteaccess/content/download/928/5594/myfile.wmv"

when I click on such a link which was created this way:
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.file} (which looks ok)

I recieve nothing.

I found the file on the filesystem and it got some automatic name diferent from the one the template code generated (like shown above)
/var/mysiteaccess/storage/original/video/phpFFUslr.WMV
does abybody know what could it be?
I am using the media datatype.

thanks a lot

please turn on debugging...

Note:
the url
/mysiteaccess/content/download/[contentobjectid]/[attributeid]/myfile.wmv

will/should deliver the file

/var/mysiteaccess/storage/original/video/phpFFUslr.WMV

It realy does not work
if I change the settings in file.ini from
Handler=ezfilepasstrough
to
Handler=ezfiledirect
than it works and I receive the real path of the file name

Please turn on debugging/sql output and check all log files eZ('var/log'), Apache acces and error

There should be an error documented some where.

I figured out why I have this problem, but I don't know what todo :(
The source of the problem is the structure of the url.
"/mysiteaccess/content/download/928/5594/myfile.wmv"
if I have '.wmv' in the end of the link I receive 'page could not be found' message. Its not even eZ publish message but internet explorer message. If I remove the '.wmv' from the link or just remove the '.' I will receive eZ publish error page. So I understand that it is something with the apache configuration.

Does anyone know what should I do???

I have the same problem with the eZ 3.4 when I try to edit ini setting from the admin pannel. the url also consists '.ini' in the end.

Please check your rewrite rules...

a request to a .wma should resolve in a rewrite to index.php

and not in a e.g. 404

The Rewrite rule that eZ supply doesn't work.
I have changed it to make it work:

RewriteRule index.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule !\.(wmv|gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|html)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)?$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/download/(.+)\.(doc|ini|wmv|gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|html)$ index.php/$1/download/$2.$3 [L]

please reply if you have any comments about this rule.

if it works now it is fine

thought the rules seems too complicated. I bet you can set them up easier.
