PHP APC returns Null during large file upload

obhobh78

I'm currently working on a printing websites for which requires user to upload large files to their server (normally above 50m per file). I manage to show the progress bar using php apc & ajax and everything run smoothly for file around 50-60mb. However when uploading large files (more than 80mb), php apc would return no data at all during half way of the uploading process. I have set post_max_size, upload_file_maxsize, apc.max_file_size to 300mb but the problem still persists..

Any advise would be great. if u need to have a look at my php.ini, u can go to www.kuanpress.com.my/test.php else if u wish to have a look at my upload progress, please go to www.kuanpress.com.my/upload_form3.php.

Advise and solution would be much appreaciated..thanks. 🙂

How about max_execution_time?
The default is often 30 seconds.

We can change this in script using [man]set_time_limit/man
set_time_limit(0);
means 'no limit'

I have 1 php file to upload and another to perform apc_fetch for the progress bar. Should i set the maximum eexecution time in the upload script or the 1 that perform the apc_fetch?

There shouldn't be a PHP timeout issue; the processing script won't run until the file has been uploaded, and the script that runs the apc_fetch() doesn't have that much to do.

See the user notes on the [man]apc_fetch[/man] manual page; there's a post from "chris at active9 dot com" that suggests adjusting apc.rfc1867_freq.
