Flie Upload Max. File Size

[gnome]

Hi

I'm having trouble adding PDFs to my page. They are large files - up to 50Mb. They appear to be failing - the progress bar gets stuck on 99%. I have tried adding

upload_max_filesize = 100M

post_max_size = 100M

to php.ini, but no luck. Has anyone else had this and found a solution?

Thanks!

Please, see this topic (there are few other server settings that needs to be adjusted):

apeisa, thanks.

I've tried what they suggest - still not able to upload a 25MB PDF!

Your PHP memory limit may be a factor. You might have it set to 32 or 64. I'd suggest bumping it up to 256.

When I'm uploading a bigger file (90Mb for example) it stops on 99% or 100% and freezes. I have done all PHP configuration required.

What could be the problem?

Can you specify the settings you've done?

Hi Martijn,

Well I altered php.ini like this:

upload_max_filesize = 150M
post_max_size = 150M
memory_limit = 128M
max_execution_time = 120
max_input_time = 120

I'm by far not an expert at this.

But it seems to me that memory limit should at least double your 90Mb.

Next to that max_input_time is way to less if you asked me.

Our internet connection is not that great. It would take 12 minutes (720 seconds) for us to upload 90Mb if there's no interuption

Thanks for suggesting to push memory_limit higher.

max_input_time is no matter in my case because Im working on localhost and the upload is quite fast. I must check it on live server though.

Thanks again

Did you take a look at the server logfiles? I bet you will find hints about the problem in "error.log". It Apache does not complain, it's most likely no Apache problem.

I think Martijn is right and this really is a memory_limit issue. Especially if that file is an image, as it'll have to be processed to generate a thumbnail too. And once uncompressed for processing, a 90 MB image is going to be quite large. Even if not an image, 128 MB is still too little for this situation. I would bump it to 256.

Increasing memory to 400MB worked for me.
