Excel download not working page loads then nothing #242

Open NickBenedict opened 10 years ago

NickBenedict commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I tried doing a basic 100 line excel doc pull with only one column for names.

I get a 500 internal server error.

The rest of the doc types download fine.

This is running on ubuntu 14.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks.

Hi @NickBenedict. Interesting. Is there anything in the error logs that provide some more details about this? The Excel generation uses a (bundled) external script to actually generate the files, but I haven't heard of it requiring anything out of the ordinary for server requirements.

Hi Ben, thanks for the speedy reply.

How do I check the logs? On Jul 25, 2014 1:54 PM, "Benjamin Keen" notifications@github.com wrote:

Ooh - sorry, missed your reply. For that, you'll need to enable PHP error logging on your system - it's a super useful thing to do - you often find oodles of interesting errors in there that you had no idea were happening.
