I have a unusual problem that is driving me nuts. I want to enable the clean urls so I activated the .htaccess file that comes with drupal 5.1. That is fine, the clean urls now work. However, now some of my attachments will not open. Here is the unusual part. I have 2 files CPSCSummeEntries.pdf and CPSC Summer Spectacular.pdf. Both files have identical permissions and properties, both files are in the same directory, both files have the correct path as attachments. CPSC Summer Spectacular.pdf opens with no problem but CPSCSummeEntries.pdf gives me a forbidden you don't have access message. If I turn off the htacces both open no problem. I tried adding
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
to the htaccess but it still does not work properly.
I am posting the htaccess file below, it is the same one that comes with the installation. I contacted my web host but they were not helpful in troubleshooting this other than to say it "looks like a problem with .htaccess". hmmm...REALLY?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Bruce
