Upload File Limit

[ghost]

Dear Lito,

I have an issue regarding the upload of files. I checked everything for a while now and cannot see why it is not working.

Problem: I can upload files with the size of about 1Mb, every larger files (3Mb+) triggers the error message "The file size exceeds the limit for this configuration." (subkey: 5). Smaller files work, so there is no problem with the writing permissions, the installation or anything. There is enough space on the server.

In the default config the file size is set to: 'peso' => 1024_1024_100, –– this should not be an issue. I tried setting it a lot higher –- this doesn't seem to change anything.

I checked around the files and I think there is an issue with getting the file size of the upload. If I add an output of the filesize ($files['size'][$k]) to the error message it reports the correct size for smaller files but "0" for bigger files.

Thanks!

(The server is running PHP Version 4.4.9)

Have you configured your php.ini with a high value in upload_max_filesize option?

I got same problem but with really huge files (200Mb or more). I ended uploading them by SCP.

I've already changed the upload_max_filesize param in php.ini, but as they are large files and it only happens from time to time, no problem.

Just to add some more information

[eusonlito]

post_max_size and upoad_max_filesize must be configured to allow more than 200Mb.

Some times (depending your server settings) you should configure max_execution_time and max_input_time options to allow large uploads.

Other times the problem can be your internet provider, some providers add a microcuts to line (to interrupt for example large downloads).

I'll check for the times parameters, but for sure they are not ISP related, as the uploads are internal on the LAN
