Hi guys. I am having a problem with opening xls files from a link
generated from php script. Let me analyze this:
I have two linux servers with apache (php,mysql etc) that are
running the same project. There is a part in this project that
reads all the files from a directory and generates the appropriate
links to them. These files are usually spreadsheets (xls) and when
I open a file using the link on the first machine it opens normally
but when I open the file from the second it is opened read only.
I have checked the rights and the ownership and they are the exact
same from the servers document root to the file itself.
Any ideas why is this happening?

Do you have the spreadsheet opened on both machines at the same
time? If
so, then as far as I know there is no way to prevent it short of
versioning software. The first person opening a M$ Office document
marks
it as read-only for anyone else who later opens it at the same time. As
soon as the first person closes it, it gets marked write-allowed.

No that is not the case since every server is completely independent
from the other. That is why I was comparing the configuration and the
rights. In addition to this I said that these are linux servers.
The weird is that apache opens the files and sends them and openoffice
takes the file and opens it. There is a difference in that procedure
between the two that make the office to open the file as read only
that I am not aware of.

I don't think you understood my response and I didn't really understand
yours. Are you saying that you have two configurations, with two servers
and two workstations that should be acting the same and aren't?

Two servers (two configurations but similar) independent to each other
running the same php scripts (everyone has its own copy).
You click a link and browser asks you if you want to open or save the
file. If you choose to open it then on the first server opens read-write
but on the second writing is not permitted.
Yeah, your opening them simultaneously on the same desktop, Excel sees that they're
they have the same file name and makes the second read-only ... at least that's
what i think Ash tried to explain. play with 'save as' using a different file name
see if that clears up the situation
