Just upgraded from 4.7 to 5.13 and cannot upload movies
 

We made the big upgrade all the way from 4.7 to 5.13 yesterday across many of our UBB forums and while the upgrade.php app appears to have worked, we still cannot upload movies and other multimedia.

Went into Admin Options and enabled Multimedia Uploads.

Went into Upload Photo Options and set Maximum multimedia upload size to 5 megs.

When i try to upload a 4.1 meg .mov Photopost tells me that the file was uploaded successfully, but the movie does not appear in the gallery that i am redirected to.

Printed out the var_dump for $_FILE and the results are:

array(1) {
["theimage"]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(7) "01.mpeg"
}
["type"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(0) ""
}
["tmp_name"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(0) ""
}
["error"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(1)
}
["size"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(0)
}
}
}


Does anyone have any hints or ideas where to debug next? :D

Thanks,

How about you check the max uploadfile size in your php settings ;)

If your not limiting filesize in the software settings then errors are defaulted to php and basically whats happening is your upload is dropping cause your max size is most likely 2mb which means you must limit the filesizes to 2mb or alter your php.ini settings

It indeed was 2mb. Good call (but you knew that). ;)

Thanks omegatron!

sorry for sounding dumb on this one, but where would I alter my php.ini settings?

I'm having the same problem.

Thanks,
Rich

look for "upload_max_filesize" in php.ini and set it to 5M or whatever
