Hi,

Does anybody know the max file size for a singular upoload, using
safari and firefox, doesn't seem to make a difference either way.
I am trying a file size of 2.5 gig my intuition tells me the software
cant take it, but I wanted to know the limits.
My php.ini file looks like this after the tweaks I made to try and
compensate for the large size upload...

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off

expose_php = Off
memory_limit = 5000M
post_max_size = 5000M
upload_max_filesize = 5000M
short_open_tag = On
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags =
"a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so


I am using the flashuploader should I go back to the ftp method, or
does this have a limit on size also, I know I have ample server space
for this so does anyone have anymore knowledge on this area ....

Wait to hear, and thanks in advance to all who have offerings on this

I take it the file you are trying to upload to is a video?

does it fail straight away or after some time?

2.5gb is a big file for an internet transfer, are you local to the server?

Hi Andy,

It is a photoshop file, I have tried different file types, .zips .psb
and different files , also I tried the different options of uploading
as a document and a photo.....all suffer the same issue.
The browser hangs for a long time, it then sometimes says completed,
but there is no evidence of the asset in the software.
I use a Mac platform OSX and using Safari v2.0.4 (419.3) is one
version of a browser, I have tried other mac platform and also Firefox
to no avail. I am running RS v1.3 ont he hostspace, its a fresh
install with new database

(Note in another thread -titled "thumbnails - imagemagick" there is a
dejavu glitch, Firefox does have a more stable uploader as in the
thread I mention there is a bug with the browse files button, when
using safari, only, it generally says choose file when going through
the My Contributions as an admin..at which point it never works and
returns to the same page, the button has then changed to read Browse
file, it then works perfectly..although not for large size files..)

I have managed a 112MB file so far but I jumped the gun a bit going to
2.5Gigs, which has problems...I am not local to the server, I don't
have server access other than the site ftp area as I am running on a
shared host from a company, (who will charge me dedicated server rates
to install linux apps ie imagemagick/ghostscript/ffmpeg etc, which
means I also have to find a work around for the image thumbnails if I
want to expand on the out the box thumbnail generation capabilities)

I think this is a great app, but I need to figure out its weakness'
before I can pin point my best use, that is if they are weaknesses and
its not just how things are hosted with the current shared host method
I am using, as I said before it has plenty of space on the server, so
it seems to be software related.

Hope this is helpful...I am stumped right now, other than trying the
ftp method, I was hoping someone may know max file size limitations on
the flashuploader....?

After you changed the max size settings in the config file, did you restart
apache?

The biggest file I have is 720 MB and its been uploading to my RS server for
some considerable length of time... I'll have to keep you posted.

Hi!
The http limit for file upload seems to be 2 GB; it is not a browser
issue but an http protocol issue.
Also the fancy upload should rely on http upload. We should find an
open source alternative to ftp upload.

Regards!

Hey Camillo,

I have been having trouble getting a file any larger than 112MB in
8bit format, would you be able to post alittle more about each seting
you have amended to enable this 2GB option...

I have tweaked my php.ini file, also I have started to amend my
upload.php file and upload_fancy.php files to match what I do in the
php.ini file to no avail....

It seems to be 200MB not 2000MB (2GB) that is the limit set in the
files, I am not that experienced in these area's if anyone knows how I
can rectify this issue please let me know.....
I would also like to know if the software has a problem with 16bit
imagery, as anything I have uploaded in this format seems to drop out,
although this could be a file size restriction issue as I have only
tried hi-res files of this nature.

In wait of a miracle,,,

That was spam!

Don't know more about file size.

The limit of http is 2 GB.
