Problems uploading/attaching large zip files.

I had the server guys look at it today, they say it has something to do with vb and not their end.

When I try to upload a .zip past like 3mb I get a "database error" page...


help? :P

What is the specific error? On the error page choose view source in the browser and the specific error will be at the bottom of the source code in HTML comments.

Thanks. No can do, firefox crashes out.

I'd suggest storing your attachments in the filesystem. Sounds like MySQL is crashing out with a maximum packet error.

Ya, thanks, I guess I'm not getting this. Is this still secure? As in only people with permissions can download?
