[Vtigercrm-developers] vTiger 5.3.0 unable to open documents

[Juan C. Dulanto]

In order to save someone else's headaches, I will write up about a problem that has not been well documented:
Issues when attempting to open documents on a Windows based vTiger CRM.
I had successfully saved documents to our vTiger server, and I could open them - without any issues - from the storage folder, but I could not open them using any browser. (The exception was with pdf files: They could open via folder or via browser)
If I try to open a .doc file I would get the following screen:

If I tried to open a .docx I would get:

If I tried to open a jpg I would get:

And same with xls, tif, mdi, mht, etc.
The solution was to modify \modules\uploads\downloadfile.php around line 45 and include 4 lines of code to clean the buffer before loading any new documents:

Now ALL documents are able to open just fine from the browser.
I hope this mod helps you too.
