Large files will not upload via Downloads Manager

[domineaux]

I checked my php.ini via the PHPINFO.PHP file. 

It shows my local uploads at 25M and my Master value for uploads at 2M.  I don't really want the Master values to be higher.

I changed the settings in the TP to 25M and it shows 25000KB as the upload limit in the top left corner of the upload screen.

When I try to upload a file size close but less than the 25M it never uploads it.

I get no message or anything. 

It does upload files in the 7+MB range or less

-----------------------------

I'm sure something has gotta be configured wrong, but I'm fresh outta guesses.

I'd appreciate any pointers or how to do it. 

Thanks

This is sometimes a server/host issue so you may need to check with your host to see if they have a limit in place that is lower than the ones you are trying to use.

The sent me an email and said I should enter the amount of download/upload limit in the htaccess file

Their message:

To raise the PHP Upload Limit for your website simply add the following to the .htaccess file in your public_html folder:

php_value upload_max_filesize = ??M

Replace ??M with that size in Megabytes that you would like the max upload set to.

Doesn't sound limited by them from reading that.

If that's what they are saying then the server should be OK once that .htaccess file is in place.
On my current server that would not work (I tried) and the host had to set the limits.

We are at the limits of my knowledge on this so hopefully someone else will stop by. 

Have you tried over on SMF to see if they can offer any help?

Don't SMF can help, because the downloads manager is a TP thing.

I've been chatting b and f with the support at my hosting and they changed the Local and Master to 25MB.  It still doesn't work.  I'm thinkng it may be a timing issue on the hosting side.

I'm going there now.

Thanks

Even if PHP has the max_upload set that still does not mean that apache will not time out. The webserver (apache), is usually set to time out after so many seconds, which if your upload takes longer will timeout apache.

Try the FTP route, upload via an ftp program and then use the ftp option in the Download Manager to pick up the file and create the entry.

You could try this too..
copy to notepad and save as php.ini to your forum folder, change the 30 and 60 to higher values, until it works 

max_execution_time = 30
; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60
; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
