UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Problem with Uploads

Alright, I have a problem with the upload feature. Whenever any of my members try to upload anything over say 1.5-2MB ubbt says it uploads it, but when you go back to click the attachement link it comes up an invalid link. At first I thought my file size in the settings was too low so I jacked it up to some astronomical number (think it was 1 trillion) and it still did the same thing. Any help would be appreciated .

1) There's are a couple of upload limits in php.ini, and those would override the limit in threads' config settings. Here are the default settings for PHP 4.1.2:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M

2) Exactly what value are you using for the upload limit? There might not be a range check on that, so if it's too big, it might "wrap around" to a small value or negative value.

3) What's your threads version?

1) I'll have to check

2) right now I have the upload limit at 100,000,000 bytes

3) I'm using 6.1.1

I assume you mean "100000000"? I think 100 million should be ok, but I would lower it to a more reasonable value, maybe 5 or 10 million.

But my guess is that the upload_max_filesize = 2M limit is being hit.

That seems to be it....the upload_max_filesize in php is set at 2097152.

You can check out the pic here of the settings.

Pinion,

You might want to see the setting of the php script timeout (I think it is also in the php.ini).

If your users want to upload a file that is 1Mb = 1,000,000 (roughly) bytes, then that means that it is 8,000,000 bits.

With a normal connection of 40Kbps (modem) you need (8,000,000 / 40,000) 200 seconds to upload it minimum. If your max_execution_time (or something like that is set to something small you might have a problem.

I had the same issue with photopost, in which you upload pictures (files) and it was this setting that did the trick for me.

Warm regards

My host doesn't use php.ini or conf.d
Running php version 4.3.2
This is what I ended up using in my .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value max_execution_time 1200
php_value memory_limit 200M
php_value post_max_size 200M
php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
</IfModule>
