dB Connection Resets Uploading File

EzPc

I built a website allowing users to upload their files into a MySQL server. It would seem that I have not configured something correct because if the file is larger then 2 Meg, the upload script fails with he warning:

Database error storing file: MySQL server has gone away

I am dealing with text files... rtf and word docs. Anything under 2 Meg works great. Anything even slightly above kills the dB connection... :eek:

So I was hoping that someone could verify where and what to check... maybe I missed changing a setting somewhere... 😕

Any ideas 😕

Thanks

Hi, the php.ini file has a standard upload limit of 2 MB, I'm not saying that is the reason for your troubles but it could be something to look at. Try printing the function phpinfo( ); onto a page, somewhere in it's results it'll say what its upload limit is.

I checked this setting.. I changed it to 18 Meg. I also just now specified a temp_upload_dir.

One thought.. is this error not coming from MySQL 😕

I thought the error message was that the MySQL server was not available.
