Need Help With Download Problem
I hope this is posted in the correct place. Please bear with me - I'm new here.
I am having a problem with downloading games. I have downloaded material in the past with no problem but now I am. I tried to contact the Abandonia Team about it; I have heard nothing as yet. I'll paste a portion of the message here. Hopefully someone will see this post and reply with some help. Quote:

When you click on "get it!", the download should start right away. If it doesn't then something got wrong somehow. Maybe your browser is blocking the download. Maybe it is the pop up which get blocked and the download never start. But when you click on "get it!", the download should start right away.
On my own attempts, the download always start several seconds before the page switch to the "You are now downloading [game x]." page. The problem is on your end. Simply click back, return to the "get it!" page and try again. If it still don't work try to see if some setting in your browser is not interfering. |

I tried all of that. Nada! I checked all my browser options. No difference. I tried to download again. Same results: trapped on the "Donations From Hell" page.
Sorry... The frustration with/on a site I have cherished until now is somewhat difficult to deal with. |

Have you tried using a different browser?
The information regarding your browser and plugins for it will be somewhat neccessary for our technician to fix the bug you're experiencing. |

If you are using NoScript with FireFox then make sure Abandonia.com is allowed or temporarily allowed. Otherwise the script will never start and since the second page is a "normal" web page you'll be forwarded there whatever happen.
I can think just right of my head of at least half a dozen reasons why it would not work. None of them originate from the site itself. |

Maybe I've Been "Locked Out" Somehow?
I disabled NoScript and rebooted my PC.
I attempted another download. Same result.... |

There is no way to "lock out" an individual user from downloading.
Firefox 20 here. NoScript - scripts from Abandonia.com and related are allowed. AdBlock - no change from defaults. RequestPolicy - requests from Abandonia.com are allowed. With that configuration, the downloads are working. The download script is trying to open a new window - if anything in your browser is blocking it, the download will not begin. (which I think I'll have to talk with our tech support about briefly) |

Hmm, I tried myself.
If I am pressing "Get It!" on page http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/44, I am receiving page about donations AND my download. But if I am trying to access directly http://www.abandonia.com/donation/44 , it will be only donations. So suggestion: as it seems relate on previous page, it must be referrer. Could you disable it somewhere? I think, most browsers have such ability. |

I Found An Error Message
I just tried disabling more extensions. No luck.
I decided to take another look at this "Donations" page and found a half-hidden Error message in a "pinkish" box. It reads: Error The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (11) in lock_may_be_available() (line 163 of /var/www/traineeprograms/includes/lock.inc). Could this have something to do with my problem? Where do I go from here? Quote:

I would not consider myself surfing safely the net without an app like NoScript and AdBlock.
Enough said for me. It's that important. |
