Max File upload error

[mangotree22]

Hi there,

I have just installed from scratch a server that is running Redhat 8, Mysql and an Apache webserver with php 4.2.2 and everything works perfectly... almost :-)

The problem that I have is that even though I have set the file_uploads, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size directives to 10M in the php.ini file, (and I see them when I do a phpinfo()) I still cannot upload a file larger than 500kb.

When I try I do not get any type of error at all just a 'page cannot be displayed' message or what seems to be a server not found or a DNS error.

If the file is less than 500kb everthing works perfectly. I am using identical code to that found in the manual.

Are there some other settings in the httpd.conf file or somewhere alse that limit the max post size?

I am using IE6, working on a local server so there should be no connection speed problems.

Thanks for your help.
Dave

Hi Dave,

Please can you attach a copy of the upload script you are trying to make work, so I can see what you are doing. I also suggest trying the upload from mozilla, because it gives more usful errors. It could, for example, be a timeout issue, are you testing over your local network, or from a dialup to a remote server?

Cheers
Glen

This is what I use. That was pulled from a much larger file and it might or might not work, but you'll get the idea.

<?
if (isset($_FILES['userfile']) && !empty($_FILES['userfile'])) {
	header("Refresh: 2; url=$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]");
	include_once('../includes/head.html');
	if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
		if (copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], './' . $_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
			copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], './' . $_FILES['userfile']['name']);
			unlink($_FILES);
			print "Upload successful!<br />";
		} else {
			print "Upload failed!<br />";
		}
	} else {
		print "What are you nuts?<br />";
	}
} else {

include_once('../includes/head.html');
print <<<UPLOAD
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]" method="post">
	Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
	<input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
UPLOAD;
}
print "<p>&nbsp;</p>";
include_once('../includes/footer.html');
?>

Hi, Hacking around to get your code running so I can test it... However, one thing I noticed first off, is why are you not using

move_uploaded_file

Your code looks pretty good, I have one other suggestion as well, which is, have you tried commenting out the header tag?

Anyway, will get back to you about it

Hi everyone, thanks for the help but I am still having the same problems.

Here is my code:

<?
If ($submit <> "") :
If (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $FILES['userfile']['name'])) :
echo "Upload Ok";
Else :
echo "Upload Failed";
EndIf;
Else :
?>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>
<? EndIf; ?>

I am convinced it is some kind of server config issue as I can upload any file as long as it does not exceed 500kb in size.

Very strange.

i just found the solution (in fact here on this forum)
which is in php.conf

LimitRequestBody 524288

Set it to 0 and it allows unlinited file upload size.

do I need to reboot

I have the same problem here...but when I set it to 0 it stays the same...

good luck

and if you are still having problems it really is worth trying it with a mozilla browser because it really does give you better errors
