server root path for digital products

Recommended Posts

The PayPal and e-mail issue has been beat to death. What has been outlined to do is working for MANY, MANY people. If it is NOT working for you, then there are only TWO possible reasons: 1) you have misconfigured something or 2) there are issues at the server level and your particular implementation isn't working properly.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it should work. There is something ELSE wrong if it's not.

Right vrakas. For the files that I have for sale, I put them in the NON-accessible directory. This directory is where CubeCart pulls them from for users to download. But I have a publicly available download directory for files that I don't care for people to get.

A good example would be the PayPal IPN/PDT modded files that I made available for free download. Those are in the publicly available directory and anybody can get them.

I also post up files for download by a few of my dedicated testers. I'll put them in the public directory then delete them when they've downloaded them. But in case I forget, that's why I have the index file in that directory to prevent people from leeching the files out of it.

Hope this helps answer your questions. :)

Sir William:

Your instructions are excellent! But clearly I'm not putting in the right address.

As a text example, I've put a mp3 file in the following directory:

http://www.americanartistinrome.com/store/...iepop/lunapark/

The address I've put in as a Server Root Path is:

/home/username/www/store/digitaldownloads/indiepop/lunapark/06_Heaven_Moon.m4a

But it doesn't seem to work.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Note: even when I use the http address, it still doesn't seem to work. I must really be screwing something up. What I do notice is that the link that I get in the email includes the "~" at the end.

For example:

http://www.americanartistinrome.com/store/...TY1&ak=uVgoxxiP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Should it be doing that?
