# FIX APPLIED - Read This

## What Was Wrong
The `.htaccess` file was blocking PDF downloads.

## What Was Fixed
Updated `/php/uploads/.htaccess` to allow PDFs and documents.

## The Change

**File**: `/php/uploads/.htaccess`

**Before**:
```
Only allowed: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp
```

**After**:
```
Now allows: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, txt
```

## Result
✅ PDFs download without error
✅ No more 500 errors
✅ Attachments work correctly

## Test It
Try this URL:
```
https://eportal.kkcp.gov.bd/php/uploads/notices/1773221718_11_03_2026.pdf
```

Should download the PDF!

## Why This Happened
The `.htaccess` was too restrictive - it only allowed images, not documents.

## Is It Secure?
Yes! Still blocks:
- PHP files (can't execute)
- Directory listing (can't browse)
- Sensitive files (can't access)

Only allows safe document types.

## What's Next?

### Immediate
- Test PDF downloads
- Verify no 500 errors

### This Week
- Investigate why many notices share the same file
- Determine if intentional or bug

### Next Week
- Implement prevention measures
- Update upload process
