    Hello all,

    My site offers users to download files for free and works fine for the most part. However, when I download a file I cannot access the main site until the download is complete. The site returns a 504 error everytime until the download is cancelled or finished.

    I'm wondering what would be the cause of this? Thoughts for a fix?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rick

    Hi,

    I'm using an i5 server. The only mods that are used are the Mod rewrite. I can't figure this out for the life of me.

    The browser I'm using is Safari.

    try using session_write_close(); just before you send the download
