Invalid manifest or application descriptor

I created an OTA and was testing the link but I keep get the below message when i click the link on my BB.

Error: invalid manifest or application descriptor

But the link works fine on my pc. Can anyone help?

I did what I always do, exported the JAD, zipped the files, loaded the .htaccess file... STUMPED!:aargh4:

I am unsure how you have your server set up but, you should only upload the .htaccess file once...I upload the jad and cod files without zipping them but that is on my hosting service.

Who are you hosting through.

Z,

You don't need to upload the .htaccess file each time doing so may cause download errors. once its there just upload .jad and .cod files to the directory it resides in.

I created a new folder and uploaded the files. I thought every folder with the jad/cod files needed the .htaccess to create the OTA.

i never had to make an .htaccess file at all but i guess it may depend on your host

It depends, if you put the folder in the parent folder or top folder then all sub-folders will have the same access rights...
