Hi Arno,

Thanks for the offered override snippet. However, I prefer the direct modification of the corresponding file. Actually, this is not the only change that I added to that file. I also added code to substitute the {jd_file ...} placeholders in smart search results. And in order not to forget about my local modifications, I have already a checklist with post-update actions that I have to work through.

Regards
Tom

General / Re: Initialize scan stuck at 0...

Hello
I actually updated to 4.1.6 2 right after my message.
First time it failed. But on the second attempt 4.1.6 installed fine.

The behavior is the same though

I checked the log but there are no indication as to what was the version before 4.1.5

I believe I updated last year though, so it would have been around 4.0.47, though I may be wrong.

Thank you

Hi again,

From what i tried to analyse, on DownlaodController.php when buildiing the $filename_direct
I receive the following :
- $filename_direct as /home/clients/dgssfgfg1231564645d1sfgsgvsf/web/mmd/jdownloads/Test/debian2.iso
- $root as /home/clients/dgssfgfg1231564645d1sfgsgvsf/web
- $host as www.myurl.com
- $joomla_root as /home/clients/dgssfgfg1231564645d1sfgsgvsf/web/mmd/
- $joomla_host as https://www.myurl.com/mmd/

in this configuration it seems the code is building the following :
- str_replace($root, $host, $filename_direct) --> www.myurl.com/mmd/jdownloads/Test/debian2.iso
- as there is no http ... in the chain, build the $filename_direct as http://www.myurl.com/mmd/jdownloads/Test/debian2.iso

I am absolutely not a code expert so this may be wrong sorry about that ...

In that case, passing an http address is returning the error i am seeing :
- file not found
- and https://www.myurl.com/home/clients/dgssfgfg1231564645d1sfgsgvsf/web/jdownloads/Test/debian2.iso in my address bar

Regards,

Pierre

Bugs! / Re: No more downloads in 4.1.6

Last post by Arno - 20.07.2026 21:46:55

Hi.
Thanks for reporting this.
This may be a runtime error in the download path after update, but we need one concrete error message to confirm whether it is a regression or environment-specific.

Please do this quick check:
- In Joomla set Error Reporting to Maximum and enable Debug.
- Try one download again and post the exact error message shown.
- If still blank, please paste the newest entries from your PHP error log.

Optional quick isolation test:
- In jDownloads options temporarily disable Send Downloads using the PHP script and test again.
If this works, the issue is narrowed to the PHP download stream path.

General / Address Problem using Direct D...

Last post by jpierre - 20.07.2026 09:26:11

Dear All,

What would explain the following behavior when i inactivate "Send Downloads using the PHP Script" (Reason is shared on an other post, mentioning downloads issue on large files)

Let's say my website URL is  : https://www.myurl.com
Let's say my web provider (infomaniak) internal server address is: /home/clients/dgssfgfg1231564645d1sfgsgvsf/web/

When i try to get a download from my website (jdownloads) using the direct link option (for example Test/debian2.iso) the link that is generated is :
https://www.myurl.com/home/clients/dgssfgfg1231564645d1sfgsgvsf/web/jdownloads/Test/debian2.iso

resulting of course with a page not found !

I must say the following :
- i did try the direct link in the past (last month), it was working well (test was on JD 4.1.4)
- for an unexplained reason, i got this issue (on JD 4.1.4)
- i tried to 4.1.6 update to check, result is the same

and on my side, no update was done either on JD or JOOMLA between the moment "working / not working".

I am checking as well with Infomaniak to see if something happened on their side, but any help or clue would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help

Pierre

Hi,
thanks for the details. But please do install the new security update 4.1.6 straight away!


A quick question:
Do you remember which previous version you updated from to version 4.1.5 (it should actually be in the installation log as well)?

More later.
