Cannot view attachment of a Ticket

[anonymous]

Not able to view an attachment.

Possible cause could be: I have a project with following directory structure

project
|   `-- attachments
|   `-- ticket
|       `-- 30
|-- conf
|-- htdocs
|-- log
|-- plugins
|-- templates
`-- wiki-macros

While the link to the attachment is ​http://<IP>/project/attachment/ticket/30/somefile

I notice that attachment directory is with extra 's' ( plural ).

Just to mention this is a windows installation.

attachments is the right spelling for the folder. Some questions:

• what is the exact error / backtrace you're seeing?
• does this happen just for one attachment (which filename?) or for all?

Anyway, this is most probably an installation issue, so double check if there wasn't any manual change later on (the attachments folder and its subfolders must be writable by the user running the Trac server).

Replying to anonymous:

I have a project with following directory structure

project
|   `-- attachments
|   `-- ticket
|       `-- 30

Is it? It should have been

project
|   `-- attachments
|      `-- ticket
|         `-- 30

Windows installation …
Give a try with another ticket, the ticket directory might have been moved with some user unexpected drag and drop action within an Explorer window ;-)

I don't see any backtrace

If I attach a txt file it works fine. However, if I attach *.patch files it does not work. Can u please suggest on the solution?

I think it is problem to the mime type. Is it possible to choose the mimetype or autodetect mimetypes while upload?

[anonymous]

Can any one help me on how do I setup Trac for *.patch files to be visible?

Closing this now, as this was most likely a local installation issue.
