Zip uploads problem

dpnow · September 9th, 2006, 10:19 AM

I've looked around for an answer to this, without success, but I have seen several comments matching mine. When attempting a zip file upload containing several images I get:

Uploaded file not found
Typical reason is that the file exceeded allowed limits

As far as I can see, no limits in the admin config options have been exceeded. It's very obscure.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Now discovered that the Zip is recorded and if you upload a subsequent image, the zipped images magically appear alongside waiting to be processed.

Your zipfile is larger than your maximum allowable uploadable filesize. Either make the file smaller or edit your servers php.ini file to increase your max_upload_filesize

Afraid not, that was too obvious. The limit was set to 1MB and the upload file was 760K. I have increased the limit to 2MB and it makes no difference.

Check your server maybe your apache setup. Your LimitBodyRequest is set somewhere to a specific size. The LimitBodyRequest or the max_upload_filesize are the only two things that is going to kick the file from being uploaded and that is exactly what is happening as your tripping the nofile error

Hi Chuck, I run a managed server so I don't have direct access to Apache, but it struck me that the file was successfully uploaded, but the error occurred after this stage. This is why I later found the uploaded images after uploading another single image file.

I'm trying to discover the LimitBodyRequest setting value.

Once a file is uploaded we try to process it and simply put with the error you get there is nothing to process since your server drops it cause its too big.

OK, but it's curious that you can force the uploaded file to be processed in the way I described.

I added LimitRequestBody 1048576 (for 1MB) to the main .htaccess file, but this hasn't changed anything. I read some comments saying apache needs to be rebooted - is that right, even for .htaccess controls?

LimitBodyRequest is usually only found in the apache httpd.conf file or php.conf files

You may not be able to raise it that way.
