RE: opening .ppt and .doc in Subversion/ ViewCVS

Here is the solution in case this happens to other subversion users!

Issue: We were not able to download several .ppt and .doc
files in LMForge

Fix: Changed memory_limit parameter in /etc/php.ini
from16M to 180M. This was needed to handle a 44MB .doc file.

Subject: opening .ppt and .doc in Subversion/ ViewCVS

Linux - Centos5

GForge 4.5.16

Subversion 1.4.2-2

ViewCVS 1.0-dev

We're having problems opening certain Microsoft powerpoint and word docs
through ViewCVS.

In all cases below, we're trying to view the file on a Windows client
using the download, then open button.

Case 1 - an apostrophe in the filename throws an error when click on it
in the browse repository area <-- not surprising, but how can I prevent
that? Trigger on a checkin?

Case 2 - .ppt opens as empty, blank file

Case 3 - opening .ppt --> get "The page cannot be displayed" error

Case 3 - .doc opens as a blank, empty file

When I download the above files in TortoiseSVN to my computer, they all
open fine. So I don't think that they are

corrupt in subversion, but I think viewcvs is having the trouble. But
the problems are intermittent (we're trying to narrow down

what files are problematic).

Any ideas as to what the problem is here?

Thanks for any help.

Theresa
