large image problems

[bjones]

Hi,

Our gallery would like to be able to accept large (original) files that people upload, I have done some tests and it seems like I can get PP to accept images a little over a meg, but at 1.5 or 2 meg's I get what seems like a silent fail, in that I don't receive any errors, it's just that right after the initial upload attempt, the script bounces right to the "there are no more images to process screen" instead of going to the thumbnail view with more form fields.

I also checked in the upload directory that the image is supposed to upload to, and it does not appear, (but smaller files do so it's not permissions)

I was receiving php errors on large photos, but as you recommended I bumped the php.ini settings and no I am not receiving error messages on these files, so like I said it seems to fail silently, neither PP or php gives any indication that anything went wrong, only the photo never gets uploaded!

The only thing I can think is that I have settings incorrect? I have tried each of teh following, but to no avail

max height: (empty)
max width: (empty)
trigger medium: 600

max height: 0
max width: 0
trigger medium: 600

max height: 4000 (really large number)
max width: 4000 (really large number)
trigger medium: 600

I've also tried with the "resize upload down to max dimensions" on both yes and no and still it seems to fail to upload really big photos


Can you point me in the right direction on this one? Is there perhaps an upper limit to the GD capability itself (I am using GD2)? not being able to make a thumbnail or medium image or these really large images?

thanks for any advice you can offer!

Well your upload options can not be empty so your last one would be more on target above.

Now if your uploading a file over 2 mb your server will not allow that, You would need to adjust the php.ini file specifically the max_uploaded_file variable to upload files over 2mb
