Title: scan interface loading
Post by: treat2day on 10.06.2026 22:12:05
It has been awhile since I added files.

The installed version is having issues - see image.

Scan stays on loading at 0%

Only one file was added.

Hi
This might be due to Akeeba Admin Tools and having spaces in a file name.
Could you please test with Akeeba tools not enabled.

 From an old Report
jDownloads often has the file to be downloaded on an external or remote site.
If you have used Akeeba Admin Tools to create your .htaccess file then you will find that you get a '403 forbidden error.

It seems that Admin Tools does not allow spaces in Directory Names.
However, because the directory name cannot have spaces in it, this means that jDownloads category names cannot have spaces in them!!

As a result of this 'function' of Admin Tools, any .htaccess file created should not be used on any website with jDownloads.
