RE: [users@httpd] File uploads not working for quite small files (~20 KB)

["Wang, Mary Y" <ma...@boeing.com>]

I don't know if there is a log file that you can find information about upload.  Whenever I had a problem with my file upload operation in my web application, I just adjust the values defined in php.ini.   My max_execution_time is set to a very large value, because I also have set a very large value for upload_max_filesize.  The following link might provide some information about file upload.

Hi Mary

I have checked both these and they are set to 8M which should be sufficient. What about things like max_execution_time/max_input_time (30 and 60 seconds respectively?)

Is there any error logging I can look at - it seems to fail so silently.

thanks, Baljeet

What did you define for post_max_size in php.ini?
I recall memory_limit could also affect file upload.
After you make a change, make sure that you restart apache server.

Hi

I am uploading files as part of an HTTPS request to an Apache 2.0 HTTP server acting as a proxy server to my web application. It works if I have a file of about 5KB. But a file of about 20KB or more does not get uploaded to my Web application. To make matters worse, the limit of the file size that gets uploaded if the request is from Firefox is lower than if it is from Internet Explorer.

I have looked at the HTTP headers/request size leaving the browser and all seems fine. There is nothign untoward in the access_log/ssl_request_log/error_log. It seems that Apache HTTP server is quietly 'dropping' the file.

I have looked at php.ini and the upload_max_filesize is 2M. I don't have any LimitRequestBody directives configured asfar as I can see. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening, and what parameter/module is controlling it?

thanks, Baljeet.
