I am running DNN 4.5.3 with SQL Server 2005 on Win2k3

On one of my custom modules I added a text/html module and put a simple a href in the module like so:

<p><a target="_blank" href="/Portals/0/docs/Administrative_Manual.pdf">Download Administrative Manual</a>&nbsp;<img title="Administrative Manual" alt="Administrative Manual" border="0" src="/Portals/0/icon_pdf_small.gif" /></p>

However, when trying to view or download the file, what happens is:

First, instead of opening the PDF in Acrobat Reader, IE asks you, "Do you want to open or save this file?". If you click "Open", then you receive the error, "Internet Explorer cannot download file.pdf from servername. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

If you right-click on the link to the PDF, and select "Save", you receive the following error: "Internet Explorer cannot download file.pdf from servername. The file could not be written to the cache."

One article I found at http://www.somacon.com/p106.php says to Remove the above headers for disabling caching. but doesn't say how. I have searched and searched and am getting loopy. Can anyone help?

Figured it out:

Here's what to do to solve the problem:

  • Open IIS Admin
  • View the properties for the website
  • Click the HTTP Headers Tab
  • Uncheck the Enable Content Expiration checkbox.
