Problem uploading large files

[Michael Lenaghan]

I'm converting a Drupal site that has many mp3 files. Two of those files are a bit large; one is ~48MB and the other is ~88MB. At first they wouldn't upload at all; ProcessWire said that they were larger than the 40MB upload limit. I changed two entries in php.ini:

post_max_size = 100M

upload_max_filesize = 100M

After that ProcessWire seemed to upload the files--but after uploading they always disappear. In other words, I drag the files, I see the upload progress bar, the upload completes (i.e., hits 100%), I hit Save--and the files disappear from the list.

What am I missing?

Thanks. And sorry; I should have done a better job of searching. Increasing memory_limit to 256M allowed me to add the ~48MB file. Increasing it to 384MB allowed me to add the ~88MB file. For posterity: When the limit was 128M there were errors in the Apache error log. When it was 256M there were no errors, but the ~88MB file didn't quite finish uploading.

To be honest this is the same thing I've tripped up on recently so it happens to us all

If you're running PHP as a FCGI module, you have also to increase "FcgidMaxRequestLen" in Apache config.

For example:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    FcgidMaxRequestLen 524288000
</IfModule>
