issue with uploading after a backup re-install
« on: July 23, 2006, 09:56:18 PM »
i have had to reinstall an old backup, but i seem to have a problem when uploading a large file

i upload an 18 mb file

and after it uploads the page changes to

Quote
Control Panel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In case you forgot your password, enter the email address you have used for registration
?

and also the file is not uploaded or viewable from within the gallery
i have allowed upto 20mb file size by editing the .htaccess file and within the admin upload section and that worked fine before i had to re-install

has anyone got any ideas please
, all the data/media are chmodded to 777

small files work - even upto 5mb it works fine

no i havn't but i can upload files at around 5mb+, but it does the above if i do a 18mb file!

i will try with a different browser to see, but the problem would still remain for users with internet explorer atleast!

i think it is un underlying problem, but i do not know what

cheers for the reply

look in phpinfo and make sure that upload limit is higher then the largest file you upload.
Even though you set something in htaccess, it doesnt mean the server will use your settings.

ok i will thanks!

but wouldn't it give me a message about the file being to big, other than it prompting me for a password?

p.s found out the phpinfo is 2mb max, which means my .htaccess file is working as i can upload 5mb

it is as if it is timing me out, although i am still remaining logged in and it gives me the message about a password!

p.s also, i have uploaded the file via ftp and its there, it downloads properly

but as soon as i make a file upload in 4images and point it to the url, it shows the file as 976 bytes, when the file that is uploaded is 18mb

something is wrong but i do not know what

hope someone can help

i will continue searching in the meantime, seems a few have had the same problem but with no fix

i hope that changes with me

cheers

The only reason I could think of is the max_input_time setting in php.ini it set to only 60 seconds. Try increase it to more then what it takes for you upload 7mb file.
