Windows server: Attachments - 404 File not Found

Hello,

I've installed Moodle on Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5. The document directory exists outside the wwwroot folder and the anonymous user has all but full control access to the folder.

When I upload a file either through a forum or through a directory, I get 404 - File not Found errors when I try to access it through Moodle.

The file does exist in the moodledata directory structure. Here is an example URL that is returned when I try:
http://mysite/moodle/file.php/2/moddata/forum/6/1/Login_to_the_Network_from_Anywhere_in_the_District.doc

This returns a 404 error. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Go to Administration >> Configuration >> Variables and set slasharguments to 'file.php?file=/1/pic.jpg '. I think this should help you.

Saludos. Iñaki.

I have exactly the same problem in moodle 1.7. There is no Configuration page in the administration page. I manually changed the value of "slasharguments" in the database, but it didn't help. Any idea?

Thanks guys... it worked for me.

As Tim pointed out, on 1.7 Administration / Server / HTTP...
I unchecked "Use slash arguments".

I am running moodle on windows 2000 server / IIS 5 with php fast cgi.

Thanks for the help
