why isnt my video uploading

threatrr · February 4th, 2006, 08:43 PM

I keep getting invalid file type. The file is a 3 mb .wmv file and I have it set to 20mb In admin cp. Am I doing something wrong? I searched the forums for the answers but nothing came up that I saw. I had vb gallery before on my old site and it worked fine. Am I missing a hack for this?

Is .wmv in your allowable file extention types in admin?

Also check your php info to see what your max uploadable filesize is set to in PHP

Your not going to be able to upload a 3mb file if your max file uploable size is 2mb on a default PHP install.

yes its set to 25mb, where is the php.ini?

Here is my php.ini, which I placed in my gallery's root folder

upload_max_filesize = 20M;
max_execution_time = 60;
max_input_time = 60;

threatrr you have a link to phpinfo?

Did you also remember to set the limit of the attachments in the attachment manager etc.

Chuck I'm fairly new to this, what is the php ini? I have been searching the forums but I'm about ready to pay someone.

It is a file you can make called phpinfo.php with this contents. You can upload it to your server and it shows your php settings

Code:

CHUCK here is php info link

http://www.coruffryders.com/gallery/phpinfo.php

it says max up load 2 mb? what gives? how i change that?

Chuck S · February 11th, 2006, 12:16 PM

You can not upload an image larger than 2mb period. That is unless you have access to edit php settings on the server. If you do not have a vds or dedicated server then you can not edit it. You can try asking your host to raise the max upload size

wmv uploads work fine if the extention is in the allowed types in gallery admin. I have a clean install of the gallery on a test site

I am getting the invalid file when I try to upload a 3mb AVI file. I checked my etc/ folder on my server and there is nothing in there. Why can't I upload?

Thanks!

I fixed it. I just had to log in to my server as root.
