Hi,
I have just created a page with at series of GPS tracks. (http://turglede.org/helgeland-gps-tracks/)
They turn out correct in my MapSource, then I upload them and add the shortcode to the page. Here they show up correct as well.However – if I right-click and “Save link as…” FireFox downloads a file that looks like an HTML file, and IE tells me the file “… couldn’t be downloaded” whereas Chrome says “No file found”.
If I just click on the link I get a “Sorry, no such page”.Looking at the backend the files reside perfectly well in the \wp-content\uploads\gpx\ directory.
What am I doing wrong here?

maxAmministratore del forumWhere are your uploaded files located?
Are they inside of wp-content/uploads/.. or somewhere else?That gpx should be inside /wp-content/uploads/gpx/Helgeland_20130525.gpx
MichaelOspiteThat is where they are. And that is one of the thing that confuses me.
The file should work, right? Otherwise there would be no track on the map, I assume.
When I DL the file using FTP it still looks OK.I do not believe it is the plugin that is messing things up. Others would probably have reacted to that. I am just hoping for some hints on what to look for.
I have tried with two different themes to see if the theme ruined it, but it was not.

maxAmministratore del forumIt’s strange, You might have some restrictions in your .htaccess
http://turglede.org/
/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess ‘ error 403: no permission
/wp-content/uploads/ ‘ error 404: file not found
/wp-content/uploads/gpx/.htaccess ‘ error 403: no permission
/wp-content/uploads/gpx/ ‘ error 404: file not foundhttp://www.devfarm.it/
/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess ‘ error 403: no permission
/wp-content/uploads/ ‘ error 403: no permission
/wp-content/uploads/gpx/.htaccess ‘ error 403: no permission
/wp-content/uploads/gpx/ ‘ error 403: no permissionor maybe other security plugins who block the access to the /wp-content/uploads/ folder
MichaelOspiteHmmm… that somewhat beyond me. 🙁
I am trying to read up on .htaccess but am not sure what to do.Maybe I just remove the DL link or create a direct link manually.
Thanks, though
EddiebOspiteI’m having exactly the same issue since I moved hosting providers, users are presented with the message:
SERVER ERROR
404 – File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.My download links are manually coded as I offer both a 50 point and 250 point GPX trackfile for download to cater for different device capabilities.
My GPX files are located on the same server in: /wp-content/uploads/gpx/
Sample page with download links: http://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/gps-tracks-rides/south-island-tracks/waitahu-river/
Site is hosted on an IIS7 Windows platformI’ve checked my .htaccess at the site level and there’s no references there to the directory in there. I can’t find anything obvious in my server config that may be blocking access. Both the IUSR, IIS_USRS and SYSTEM users have read access to the directory.

maxAmministratore del forumHi Eddie, can you set temporarily Everyone permission on these files?
Is there a mime type set for the .gpx extension?EddiebOspiteHi Max
You legend! 10 minutes to respond to my query and you came up with the right suggestion first time.
First thing I checked was the MIME type and there was no entry for .gpx in the IIS settings.
I created a new entry in the IIS MIME type listings for .gpx and used the MIME type of text/xml, that made the text of the file appear in the browser when the link was clicked.
I then changed the MIME type to application/octet-stream and now when the link is cicked the user is presented with a ‘file save as’ box, exactly what I wanted.Thanks so much for awesome support, it’s a great plugin.
P.s I did suggest a additional feature on wordpress.org that would make the plugin perfect for me, download the GPX directly to the users connected device 😉Thanks again
