Alternative upload size limits

[John Hunt]

Hi All,

Can anyone point me in the direction of any setting which may limit
the size of files that I can upload as alternative files?

I can upload up to 1.8GB using the standard java uploader but when I
try to upload an alternative file I get an error message, asking me to
check the file size when I am uploading large files (over 500MB). I
know the 1.8GB is because I'm using a 32 bit processor, so I'm not too
worried about that specific limit at the moment.

I've looked into all of the areas where I think the limit may be
(php.ini, httpd.conf and config.php) but nothing jumps out at me as a
possible limit.

Thanks,

john Hunt.

the alternative file method uses http and therefore is not chunked
like the very latest subversion code in r 1188 and therefore will hit
a different limit (PHP.ini, Apache config file). i will see about
having this development taken on and sharing it back with the
community.

php,ini has a few relevant settings, read the RS install documentation
carefully and dig a little more with google. apache also has a
limitresponsebody you can set in httaccess and config files. but
really, there is no way to allow limitless uploads via an html form,
like alt files uses. i am going to seek permitting allowing the java
uploader with alt uploads.

Thanks,

I have looked into php.ini and this is opened up - I'll just have to
havre a closer look into the Apache settings.

It's now possible to use JUpload to batch upload alternative files.

JUpload was modified last week to use file chunking, so files are
broken in to 5MB segments during upload. This bypasses all PHP/Apache
restrictions.

I have now tried this and am having some problems - possibly because
i'm working on a 32 bit system.
The largest file which is seen, after an upload, byResourceSpace, is
2GB. The upload appears to ahve completed correctly, and a flv is
generated, but only to the 2GB file.
I have a post_max_filesize of 2000M and a upload_max_filesize of 3000M
set in PHP. If I increase the Post_max_filesize above 2000M (I have
tried 2500M) then ResourceSpace does not work. Again I suspect the 32
bit operating system I am using.
I have tried making the chunks smaller (1MB) but this has no effect.

Otherwise this seems to work - before this if the file was larger then
the php/system linit I would not see anything as being uploaded.

For information - I now ahve a full 64 it system and am uploading
large files (10GB +)

Thanks to all,

John.
