Hi!
I am facing a problem with the Download link. It gives the absolute path of the file on the server and says:

A critical error has occurred.
Could not find file "E:\wwwroot\BDGDNN\DotNetNuke\Portals\0\Repository\GapAnalysisFindings.d9f49446-04ea-41f1-bc96-a63178b1e02b.ppt".

Where as I feel instead of the above path it should use the Url of the site to download the file, but it is not using the URL instead it is using the absolute path of the file on the server.

I went to the Log viewer to get the full error report. It is as follows: (I have changed the IP in the following)

Is the file actually there? Have you moved this portal from some other server? ( such as from a development machine to a production machine ).

The repository module uses absolute file paths to access it's files. It does that because one of the early requirements as requested by the users was to be able to store the files outside the web root ( on a separate file server, or outside of the web root for security purposes ). The location where the files are stored is set in the module settings ( the folder locations are only editable if you are logged in using the host account ). For example :: If you moved the portal/database from a server where the files were on the D: drive to another server where the files are now on the E: drive, the repository module would not be able to find the physical files.

The solution is to go into the module settings using the host account and change the location folders to point to where the files are located.

IMHO it would be good to have aternative of using relative path, because if you move site to other server and have many repository modules it is a pain to correct all physical paths in module settings.
