Can't insert file with attachment

[mont]

We can insert a file in the Downloads section with a link but we can't insert one with an attached file.

It claims it succeeded because we get the "Download File "ADAMS 2.0 Release Notes PDF" inserted successfully" message but the file is not actually there.

Our test file is only 76 KB.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mont,
You can troubleshoot with the following points:

1) Your PHP configuration is set not to allow uploads
2) Your attachment size is larger in size then the memory_limit, file upload size set in php.ini

The problem turned out to be permissions on the files directory. Apparently some Windows lockdown program set Anonymous Web Users to be denied wrote access. Once I changed this files could then be uploaded/downloaded.

However I still have a problem.

I changed upload_max_filesize to be 50M. When I try and upload a 45 MB file I get an error that the file exceeds the limit of 8MB (specifically a PHP Warning that the POST Content-Length of 46715906 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes).

So I am assuming that there is another limit somewhere that I have missed. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks,

Extend your PHP memory_limit setting as well.

I increased memory_limit from 128M to 256M and (just in case) max_execution_time from 30 to 120.

I still get the same error message saying that the file exceeds the 8 MB limit.

Did you restart your webserver after making the changes to php.ini? Check your server phpinfo if the changes you made are in effect.

[mont]

Yes I had re-started my web server and my new values appeared in the phpInfo (though re-starting the web server appears not to be necessary as edits appear in the phpInfo upon a refresh).


The problem turned out to be the post_max_size parameter in php.ini. Once I increased this to 50M my upload worked fine.


In the end I changed these php parameters to allow larger uploads:
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size


Does anyone know if max_execution_time and/or max_input_time are related to the time it takes to upload or download a file? I've tested internally and it takes less than 30 seconds (the current max_execution_time) for me to upload a 45 MB file. But if a customer had a slower connection and it took longer than 30 seconds to upload (or download) would either or both of these parameters be a problem?

Thanks,
