I did not find which is the best following to serve physical files to the users in a MVC3 app.
For example if I want to put my site in search engines, they ask me to place an xml file in the site root.
This file can not be accessed because I think the routing does not "catch" the url...
Thanks¡¡
You should be able to ignore route:
routes.IgnoreRoute("/filename.xml");
Or:
routes.IgnoreRoute("filename.xml");
And that should be done in Global.asax file and RegisterRoutes() function
did you try opening the file through your web browser?
if you tried and it didn't open then you can do the following
in global.asax
write the following
C#
routes.IgnoreRoute("{xml}", new { xml = #"(.)?abc.xml" }); where abc is the file name or you can but * instead of abc to ignore all xml files
You can just set the permissions on the file system with a chmod (700) or equivalent. Usually this is where the protections come in.

I have a form on my CodeIgniter app that has users uploading doc files to a directory on my server. I need to be able to open these files from the app. I am trying to create a method that downloads these files so that I can open them in a word processor. No errors display on my method's output(php errors), but the files do not come out correctly in open office. There are 217 pages in the downloaded file(it should really only have 3 pages) and they are filled with random characters.
Example:
ÐÏ#ࡱ#á################;###þÿ #################<###################þÿÿÿ########ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿýÿÿÿÿÿÿÿþÿÿÿþÿÿÿ################ ###

So this is what I have for my controller method.
function downloadresume($filename, $ext){
$this->load->helper('download');
$this->load->helper('file');
$content = read_file('./_resumes/'.$filename.'.'.$ext);
force_download($filename.'.'.$ext, $content);
}
Is there a better way to do this? Am I missing something?
You could have a look at http://phpword.codeplex.com/ I have used it in several projects and it seems to work very well. You will need to write a bridging library so you can use it but that is really not so difficult.
I hope this helps, good luck
When using Dojo file caching with Worklight receiving a 404 Error when running in Simulator. It appears the file being loaded is not being copied from the common area to the device. Is there something else I need to define in my project to make that happen? There must be a convention and I wanted to follow it going forward as I expect to have more template files in the project.
My define statement in a .js file:
define(["dojo/_base/lang", "dijit/layout/ContentPane", "dojo/dom", "dojo/text!./templates/Order.html"], function(lang, ContentPane, dom, template){
...
var cp1 = new ContentPane({
title:"Order",
content: lang.replace(template, someJson)
}).placeAt("temp");
My folder structure:
In the common/js directory I have the above code in a .js file and I have a templates folder to keep the Order.html and I would expect to have other template files stored there in the future.
Error on the console:
GET http://localhost:10080/DojoProject/apps/services/preview/DojoApp/windowsphone8/1.0/default/layers/templates/Order.html 404 (Not Found)
It seems that the way you are specifying the path, browser tries to find the file in the "layers" folder which is sibling to "templates".
Have you tried to modify the "dojo/text!./templates/Order.html" to something like: "dojo/text!./../templates/Order.html" to navigate one level up, then go into the templates folder?
I'm not sure this will work, but I think it worths a try.
I'm using GroceryCRUD to act as a front end for a database containing news releases. Secretaries can go in and add/edit/delete news releases in the database easily now. Only qualified users are able to access the application root via an .htaccess password. The problem with this is that GroceryCRUD uploads assets such as photos are uploaded to the directory /www/approot/assets/uploads/ which is password protected since /approot/ is protected.
My ideal solution would be to set an upload directory outside of the application root which is where I'm running into trouble. By default this is how GroceryCRUD handles uploads:
$this->grocery_crud->set_field_upload('photo1','assets/uploads/');
I've tried changing it to something like this:
$this->grocery_crud->set_field_upload('photo1','/public/assets/uploads/');
I was hoping this / would make the path start from the document root instead of the application root, but it throws this error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'It
seems that the folder "/Users/myusername/www/approot//public/assets/uploads/"
for the field name "photo1" doesn't exists.
This seems to suggest that CI or GroceryCRUD just takes the second argument in set_upload field and just concatenates it onto the end of the site URL that is defined. Is there any way around this that doesn't involve creating a user login system?
Try using relative path.
$this->grocery_crud->set_field_upload('photo1','../assets/uploads/');
.. -> Go up one directory
I ended up implementing a login system outlined in this tutorial:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/easy-authentication-with-codeigniter/
It was quite simple to set up and suits my needs. I found ways to give access to the directory using httpd.conf directives but I feel like this was a more viable solution since I don't have direct access to server configuration files.
Maybe in the future GroceryCRUD will allow placement of uploads outside the application folder.
I'm attempting to set up my own directory structure for serving up static files:
\s (statics)
\c (css)
\j (js)
\i (images)
etc ...
The issue is that I'm seeing a 404 for this directory when referencing it. When I inspect the file path, it is pointing to the correct location localhost:port/s/c/style.css, but for some reason it can't find the file.
Is there a way that I can make this path available via my Web.config, or possibly through my Global.asax file via routes? I've heard there are performance penalties associated with using routes, so using the Web.config - or an alternative solution - is preferred.
http://localhost:port/s/c/style.css should work without any problems. It seems that you have specified a wrong filename which is the reason for the 404 error.
I am working on a new module of existing live project. It is a website developed in PHP Zend Framework. New module is on admin side. It runs properly on my localhost/virtualhost.
When I uploaded it online with correct directory path it is found that one file is not found.
It is called like
www.example.com/admin/controllerName/actionName
All the actions works except one action that doesn't display anything and returns exception error mentioning that page or file not found.
What could be the issue? I have checked folders. If one action for the same controller works than why doesn't other. Both have their .phtml files in View section.
Help would be appreciated.
Would I be right if I guessed your local development environment was Windows?
It's probably a filename case sensitivity issue.
Assuming your request looks like
www.example.com/admin/fusionmaps/newpage
I'm not sure how you've setup your modules but if it's reasonably standard, you should have something like this (note the upper and lowercase characters)
application/modules/admin/controllers/FusionmapsController.php
The controller classname should be Admin_FusionmapsController with action public function newpageAction()
The view script should be at
application/modules/admin/views/scripts/fusionmaps/newpage.phtml
