Several restrictive bugs in SMF 1.1 RC2

[ReiLiC]

Ok, here is the status now. I did a fresh install of SMF and installed the DilberMC Mod and Theme. I first stuck the download whe I set up the calendar and then every now and then when I post and reply it does it.

I asked some people to try and it faries between them. Some get it some don't. They are all usin IE 6. I have not tested with IE 7. Might it be the web server? I don't have any problems with my appications in PHP and MySQL, but I don't know if it might just do something a bit different than Apache or soemthing that triggers the download response.

Server stuff is not really my thing.  What you can do is start a new topic in the server configuration board.

Another bug that I am finding extremely annoying is every now and then when I click on a link it asks me to download the index.php file. Is it maybe the software I am using to hist the site or where can I look to fix this problem ?

I don't think that is related to SMF.  It might be a host issue.  It happens here once in a while when apache crashes.

Would that mean that if we noticed it happen with index.php we could tap in Settings.php instead and download db passwords etc for the forum??  Because if that is possible, its a pretty big security problem...

Yes.

However what can SMF / phpbb / IPB / vB do to stop it?

It is a server config issue if your host sets up php incorrectly

I don't think so because when you download the index.php file it's empty.

Thats good then   Thinking about it more in depth, it wouldnt be a SMF issue anyway.
