I am dealing with some issues and to help, other ppl here want me to post output from FPA
Problem is when I try the FPA keeps telling me it is self-deleting due to the time it has been on the server. ( Have no clue what that means. Am I required to leave it for a set period of time?
The quick start guide just say to upload the script, then run from browser but all I get is that message and the script vanishes.
FPA self deletes on running Topic is solved

Re: FPA self deletes on running
This has been discussed before, don't remember the post.
As a work around comment out line 97 define ( '_FPA_SELF_DESTRUCT', TRUE);

Comment out line 97 solved the problem.
I get the idea behind self destruct but it has a time warning in the script when it runs anyway.
While I agree it is not a "bug" the lack of information about that problem being absent from documentation is a "bug" in terms of instructions.
Better solution to avoid the date/time stamp issue would be:
1) Provide the work around as part of the documentation.
2) Design script so that once you export a report is self destructs in x seconds.

Re: FPA self deletes on running
The problem is caused by using a file transfer method (e.g. Win SCP) that preserves the original date modified value when you copy files from your PC to your file server (as discussed in viewtopic.php?f=806&t=982234#p3615105). Some file transfer methods are better than others. It's not necessary to modify the FPA source code.
Your request to provide a "work around" as part of the documentation is worth taking on board and I will write to the FPA development team to request that the documentation is modified. Thanks.
