uploading attachment goes to blank

Solution Found:

If you're having problems uploading large files but small files go through fine, here are some things to try:

- In the HTML form, make sure you've set MAX_FILE_SIZE to an acceptable value.
- In php.ini, be sure you've set the the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to be large enough to handle your upload.
- In your httpd.conf (if you're using apache), check that the LimitRequestBody directive isn't set too low (it's optional, so it may not be there at all).

My server's httpd.conf file LimitRequestBody was set to 10MB (10000000) so I merely set to too 100000000 (100MB) and restarted apache (apachectl graceful) and it's working!

I to am unable to upload files larger then 10MB to my server. I have complete access to my php.ini files at the settings are:

max_execution_time = 5000 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 5000 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 55M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
post_max_size = 80M

You can view my servers php information here: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/phpinfo.php

I have tried just about everything I can to figure out what's stopping the large uploads, but I am still at a loss. I have even checked my.cnf file (mysql) to ensure that's the not the issue and everything looks fine.

Mayday! (I'm actually searching outside vb.com for answer now.. ::cry:

Those are all the settings I know of that would affect this. Sorry.

[superbunny]

still the same....

"mysql packet size" wouldn't matter since i am not using mysql for attachment correct?

this is my current htaccess

php_value post_max_size 12M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value max_execution_time 2400
php_value max_input_time 2400

the only other thing i saw from those two posts is the

LimitRequestBody....but i don't want to change this, since this will affect the whole server...plus I don't see the LimitRequestBody in php.conf or httpd.conf

and my memory limit is twice the size of my upload file

I spent hours on this already, but still not getting anywhere =(
any other tips?

This is almost certianly a timeout issue. Increase max_execution_time to 120 and try again.

Also in addition to the vB settings, the allowed size of the attachments depends on the PHP and MySQL configuration. You may need to check and change the upload size for both PHP and for MySQL. Note, you'll need to have root access to the server to do this (or have your host do it.) Make these changes to php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = xM

..and my.cnf (or my.ini for Windows systems)

set-variable=max_allowed_packet=xM

Change it to the size ('x') you want in Megabytes. Restart the webserver and MySQL after making these changes.

Note: You may also need to increase the max_execution_time and max_input_time variables in php.ini.

Also you might want to take a look at this for other settings that affect file uploads:
