Hello, I am trying to install the Zend demo. I am about at wits end. I am a very computer-savvy individual. I have uploaded the aMember script FOUR times, using Filezilla, CuteFTP, CoreFTP and Windows Explorer. Each time I set FORCE BINARY and, looking at the logs, it does indeed upload everything in binary. However, I still get this great message: File [/var/www/html/amember/admin/index.php] has been uploaded in ASCII (text) FTP transfer mode and is broken. Please re-upload file in BINARY mode. Every single blast time. What's wrong? Clearly isn't binary mode because I uploaded in binary mode every time. Is there a certain exact FTP upload client you have to use??? Is there some other something or another I don't know about? I can walk through the setup.php just fine, it populates my MySQL database with all the tables, everything goes fine on the install, just everything after that claims the error! Any advice???? It looks like a good product. I emailed technical support and no response. Thanks!
I use "Flash FXP", after setting to binary, i have to close the program and reopen. Maybe an old version... David
jkeagle13, I've had exactly the same experienec myself this week - am also using cuteftp and filezilla, and have tried both ioncube and zend versions of the trial version of amember. Same upload (ie definitelky binary not ascii) and same result - ie same error messages. This is really annoying as I'm trying to evaluate whether to buy this or not. I have 2 dedicated servers and know that our server configs are OK, and the tester.php script runs fine. Any suggestions greatly welcomed.
If you have a dedicated server and shell access then you can upload the amember zip archive and unzip it directly on the server. That will take care of any weird issues with FTP uploading binaries in ASCII mode. On some control panels (cpanel in particular) you can also use the built in file manager to upload a zip file into a directory, then click on the zip file and extract it. That's another way to do it.
In CUTEFTP the option is under File -> Transfer Type -> Binary I agree with getresults, however, if you have CPanel or SSH, just upload the ZIP intact and unzip on the server. Much faster
