Moved to new host, now downloads over 1MB don't download

[stormica]

Hey, just a thought, I was all wrapped up in the includes and such for php, and failed to notice that my old server was running PHP5.2.6, and that the new server is running PHP4.4.7... but I think that PHP5 is available as an option.

What would happen to TP (and SMF) if I upgraded it to PHP 5.x?

Any chance it's part of what's been causing my issues?

(still no response from my host,... so I'm trying to figure it out on my own)

It all depends upon the security model that they are using on their php/apache setup.

But in theory nothing should go "boom" if I make php5 available to SMF while everything's "running", right?  I would put it into maintenance mode, change the setting, then test and re-enable the board.

I will also pull the phpinfo for the php5 version they're running and see if I can see any pitfalls or potential good points.

OK,.. I bit the bullet and upgraded the board to php 5.
phpinfo tells me it's 5.2.5

I also know that the memory_limit is set to 128M, other than that, the max_execution_time is still 30, and post_max_size and upload_max_filesize are both set to 8M.

Interestingly enough, it fixed my downloads issue.  Yay!!!

lmao, good work! Glad it's fixed.

Thanks to all of you for the input.  It helped to have people to bounce this off of.
