Title: Download of .exe files failing
Post by: edjack on November 14, 2024, 09:07:08 AM
Our web site is hosted on iPage.
Our application install file has .exe extension.
We are now getting a "FORBIDDEN" message when trying to download the .exe file.
I have searched the iPage help files.
Anyone know how to solve this issue and allow our .exe files to be downloaded?

Hi Ed,

I don't know anything about iPage in particular but I foudn this help article that may help: https://www.ipage.com/help/article/website-errors-403

Also if it uses APache you may look for configuration denying exe access similar to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8478279/403-error-on-exe-files-apache

Problem fixed...
An edit to the .htaccess file, adding my .exe files to the allowed access list resolved the issue.

many thanks.
