Today I encountered an issue where a user tried to upload a 1.18MB powerpoint file to a post. When the user clicks the "Ok, Submit" button, the browser immedietly (within less than a second) goes to an error "The page cannot be displayed" screen.
I've increased the attach file size to 100000000 bytes so the system should allow the file to be added. I can upload smaller PPT files so the format is accepted. Note: from some testing I did, it seems like 500K is the magic size barrier for any uploads. If I in config.inc I set my maximum upload size to something really small (e.g. 5 bytes) and try to upload a file less than 500K I get the expected UBB error message saying the file is too large and to try again. If I then try to upload a file larger than 500K I get the strange "The page cannot be displayed" browser error.
I'm not sure what's going on, but if anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it.
I changed my php.ini file as follows and rebooted by computer.
max_execution_time now at 3000 seconds
post_max_size now at 100M
upload_max_filesize at 100M
Someone on another forum suggested adjusting my upload size in my.cnf, but I'm not sure where that goes> The file is as follows:
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
Finally, I'm running 6.4.1. The site is behind a firewall so unfortunatly you won't be able to see the error.
I'd appreciate any help suggestions. This is pretty frustrating.
