Hello All

I am a complete newbie to Alfresco and need some assistance. I am not even sure if this is the right section of the forum to place this article in, but cannot see where else it goes.

I have created the site successfully, uploaded docs .. etc.

When I create a shared link to a doc and send it to an external person he clicks on the link and up comes the previewer with a download link. So far so good.
When he clicks on the download/download original menu option the following is experienced:
- Using Firefox on Mac/PC - NO PROBLEMS
- Using Safari on Mac/PC - NO PROBLEM
- Using Chrome on Mac/PC - NO PROBLEM
- Using Internet Explorer on PC - get the following errors:

*******************************************************************************************************************
Web Script Status 500 - Internal Error

The Web Script /alfresco/s/api/internal/shared/node/WDygyd97RLaq-zZSaIukYA/content/Lenovo Fusion Professional Datasheet.pdf has responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

Is there some configuration I have missed????

Could someone please assist me with curing this issue. I am sure I am not the first one to experience this, but searching the forum does not reveal it.

My server is Windows 2003r2-x64 and it has 32GB RAM.

Thanks and hope you can solve this for me.

I was able to reproduce your issue. No idea what's going on. With IE 11 under certain network connection it worked, but when using another network connection it doesn't.

I did not find issues on Jira related.

Hi Everyone, I see there's no answer here. Did anyone make any progress with this issue? I'm still seeing this in Community v5.0d. Anyone tried Community v201604? I'm wondering if upgrading will help.
