Since Monday's upgrade to msql5 on Aaryn, my three link directories have not been working. I can access and make changes to admin and I'm not getting emails from link partners but when one tries to access the directory via a browser, they get a blank page and are prompted to save or download, or worse, they get an automatic download!

I know this is an aaryn/lunarpages issue because I have the same directories on two other hosts. This is a huge problem...I don't want people forced to download files. I am mysql illiterate...I've posted on the directory forum but it's a tiny forum with no similar issues reported, and the software developer was not expecting issues with mysql 5.

I would really appreciate any help as far as where to start.

One of the directories is at ectory
http://www.earringsagogo.com/links/directory

http://www.earringsagogo.com/links/directory/index.html used to work but it's getting a 404

The file downloaded starts like this:

<?

$runroot = 0;

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

ignore_user_abort(0);

require("settings.php");

import_request_variables("cgp");

if ($mysqlserver) {

   $link = mysql_connect($mysqlserver, $mysqllogin, $mysqlpassword);
   mysql_select_db($mysqldb);

}

$uri = str_replace($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], "", $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$base = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];

if ($runroot) $base = "";

$addlink = "<a href=\"$base/add.$pext\">Add Your Site</a>";

$searchbox = '<form action="'.$base.'/search.'.$pext.'" method="post" style="margin: 0px; display: inline"><input type="text" name="query" size="20"> <input type="submit" value="Search"></form>';

function getindex($cat) {


Thanks for any help!

Could be. While you're waiting for support to get back to you, go in and change all the PHP code starts from the "shortcut tag" <? to the "long form tag" <?php. I've seen shortcut tags cause trouble. If that doesn't do it, we'll look at it some more.

When I go to http://www.earringsagogo.com/links/directory I get notified that it's an "application/x-httpd-php", which I've never seen for a PHP file. According to your next URL, "directory" should be an ordinary directory, that contains the index.html file. Something may be very badly screwed up in your system configuration and/or .htaccess file, which is telling the server that "directory" is some sort of file and not a directory. If changing your *.php files from <? to <?php doesn't cure the problem, please post the contents of all your .htaccess files (after scrubbing out account names, passwords, and anything sensitive). Is earringsagogo.com your primary domain or an add-on domain?

By the way, did they upgrade from PHP 4 to PHP 5 at the same time as the MySQL upgrade? PHP 5 has some incompatibilities with PHP 4 code.

Oh, do you suggest I update the php codes for good measure, or wait to see if problems arise?

It seems to be a file. I can access the directory with www.site.com/links/directory but at Earringsagogo I use index.html within the php cart - otherwise I seem to have session id problems resulting in 404s.
 
Is directory a file or is it a directory (folder)? In a previous append you were using it as a folder (with index.html in it). In that case, I don't understand why you insist on having this ForceType designation for it. You normally wouldn't have that for a folder.
