Serious Form Uploading Help... An Unusual Problem

Freakmusic

PROBLEM: My uploaders are not processing anything with a file size greater than 500k. Under that is fine, over is not.

FACTS:
- Apache server with PHP 4.2.2
- max_execution_time 60
- memory_limit 8M
- post_max_size 8M
- upload_max_filesize 8M
- script works fine on other servers
- file uploaders from all server domains/applications have this problem so it's not a scripting error

ATTEMPTS:
- locally setting the following:
max_execution_time 2000
memory_limit 20000000000
post_max_size 20000000000
upload_max_filesize 20000000000
- running scripts from this forum
- kicking myself
- using several different OS's to upload files (all do the same thing)

The page comes up as a page not found... no errors or anything. I cannot figure this out and am about to go insane over this problem. If you help me I will award you all of my respect for life.

it might be a filesystem problem - when you upload a file, it first goes into a temporary directory. This might not have correct access permissions, the disk might be full etc etc

might help to show us some code - just relevant stuff, thanks.

you haven't got a max size field in the form html, i suppose?

Freakmusic

I'm thinking there is something up with the filesystem. I've tried the form with max size as well and it makes no difference. I've been coding file uploaders successfully for 3 years now and feel fairly confident on the scripting side. If you have any temp folder suggestions that's where I think things are going bad. I'm not sure what I should be looking for here.

Thanks!

you running on unix or win?

Red Hat Linux 9.0 on a Plesk6.0 Install (although plesk is not the culprit)

I tried moving these scripts to another webserver and was able to execute it fine. 🙁

Just solved it... for everyone else who I've heard come across this strange 500kb problem:

Apache2 has a second config file. This needs to be adjusted as well in order for the PHP settings to work the way they should.

can you elaborate on which apache file did you have to modify and what did you have to set it to? I am having the same problem.

Thanks.
