Mpeg uploads

MikeH2911 · February 9th, 2008, 05:09 PM

Been trying to upload mpegs, nothing is working. Tried uploading from my server and all works but when I click on the link in the gallery I get a 404 not found error. I've also tried uploading an individual file as normal, I've been trying to upload a 10MB file, adjusted filetypes to allow this but when I try to upload it tells me that the file is too big as it is greater then 2MB.

Anyone know what's going on?

Most php servers are limited to 2mb uploads unless you adjust php. You need to edit your php.ini file and adjust the upload max filesize variable restart the server and then adjust vb filetypes to allow 10mb for that filetype then it should work.

Thanks for that. Will need to let my hosting comp know, is there any additional info they might need that I should fwd to them? (Just being on the safe side).

actually if You upload big files.. thats ok.. but I would NOT let users upload files bigger that 2 MB.. this has several reasons..
Imagine user being very far away and having a bad connection.. php will timeout usually after 30 secs..

If you do want to let users upload big files then make sure the php timeout is set to at least 60 seconds.. (also in php.ini)

(for video files I have users upload at youtube and use the inline video hack found here)

My hosting company finally got back to me, they've changed the php.ini file to allow bigger uploads but I'm still getting nowhere, photopost won't upload the files, exactly the same as thing is happening now as it was before.

Any help?

I would look at phpinfo() for Timeouts on PHP scripts.

EX: If upload takes longer than Apache allows for a PHP script to run Apache will halt the script. (upload in our case).

I know the system works I have uploaded 100 meg PDF's, 200 meg mov's, 225 meg Tiff's.

I have plans to update the upload process.

Apologies for the delay, I looked at PHP info couldn't see anything jumping out at me as obvious, any idea what its likely to be?
