Hello,
on the unsupported platform Free.Fr,
where you need a "patched" version of DokuWiki,
there is a serious problem both with patched DokuWiki 2009-02-14:
DokuWiki is unable to load "big" media files ( e.g. PNG graphics of 500 KB, PDF files of 1200 KB ) properly.
In opposite, media files lof less than 100 KB ( e.g. JPG graphics ) are no problem.
Please try these real links
a)
The photo loads properly with Firefox
http://hemmerling.free.fr/wikidata/media/expo2000/expo001.png
( I modified the .htaccess so that I can load files from the data directory )
but from within Dokuwiki
First picture at left side ( the picture is resized to smaller size, and is displayed properly ):
http://hemmerling.free.fr/doku.php/en/expo2000canada.html
If you click on it , you get the full display of the picture, which does NOT load but just half-loads
http://hemmerling.free.fr/lib/exe/detail.php/expo2000/expo001.png?id=en%3Aexpo2000canada.html
Now if you click on THIS picture,
it loads not properly, again,
from the cache.
If I hit return again, there is the error message
"The image cannot be displayed, as it contains errors".
Both with MSIE6 and Firefox3.
it happens on the dokuwiki page
http://hemmerling.free.fr/doku.php/en/expo2000canada.html
too, if I don´t resize it.
b)
Same with a PDF file, which if I save it to local disk, is just downloaded with minor size,
so that it is corrupt too.
From page
http://hemmerling.free.fr/doku.php/en/article05.html
you can´t download
"PDF issue of the magazine "AStRein - Die Campus-Zeitung der FHH", issue 03,October 2008 )"
http://hemmerling.free.fr/lib/exe/fetch.php/pdf/astrein03.pdf
properly,
but if you load it directly, its ok:
http://hemmerling.free.fr/wikidata/media/pdf/astrein03.pdf
Well on my local server on Windows, with the SAME "binaries" of DokuWiki as uploaded, I don´t have such problems.
I deleted the cache, index, of DokuWiki, no change in behaviour ! The attic directory was empty all the time.
c)
In fact, VERY long time ( 10 years..) ago, I remember such behaviour of "half displayed pictures",
sometimes the website's fault,
or my Internet connection was misconfigured ( i.e. the number of bytes of an Ethernet packet had to be entered manually, according to the ISP's demands, and if you entered wrong data... )
I would be pleased about feedback,
especially I did not know any DokuWiki website on Free.Fr where "big" media files are offered for download.
