Problem with open file downloaded using IE

I have a problem opening file downloaded using Internet Explorer. The temporary file (in Temporary Internet Files) is saved without extension, and the application (for example MSWord, AdobeReader) write message that the file is not found.

For example i download:

sample_filename.doc

but in the temp folder see:

sample_filename[1].

With other browsers I don't have this problem and SaveAs option in IE work properly too. Only opening file from IE works bad :(

Any help because I have no idea how to solve this?

Hi,

One of my user reported me an identical result (pdf).

I'll check what's inside the temporary folder.

What's your IE version ?

Ok,

My client has IE too with SP2. Looks like it's related.

I take for granted that you're tested with Firefox and it works like a charm, haven't you ?

Yes exactly!

I think this problem is connected with something in apache configuration too, beacuse this problems starts for me when my client chcange hosting provider. But other systems (not builded on ezpublish) still working correctly with all browsers after this change.

Today hosting provider of my client upgraded php from 4.3.9 to 4.4.2. So after this I must made upgrade of ezpublish from 3.6.8 to 3.8.1 and problem was gone. Now all working ok (in all browsers), but i'm not sure the upgrading of php was only thing made by provider... maybe they change something more in apache configuration...

So my problem was ended and I wish the same for you ;)

Hi,

I had a similar problem, and it was solved by replacing my old rewrite rule with the one recommended by eZ.

Hi,

Cold thread, thanks for joining.

Indeed, I had the "all in one line" version.

I'll try this and let you know.

Small correction:

       Rewriterule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts)/.* - [L]

(javascripts instead of javascript)

First reports: it seems to work better. Why is unclear for me and to be honest, it doesn't make sense. Waiting for more reports...
