CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

My config is:

CMSMS =1.2.2
Uploads =1.3.0
FileManager =0.2.1
PHP =4.4.4
MySQL =5.0.32
Apache =2.2.3
Linux =Debian Etch 2.6.18-5-686

I ran into a strange problem I did not have before updating to 1.2.2.

I am able to upload large files by way of the Uploads module, but am not when using the FiileManager in the Admin panel. I get an error stating the file is too big. I have double-checked all the permissions, timeout values, max upload and max size params in php.ini and restarted my server after all this and still I cannot upload a large file using the FileManager (v0.2.1).

But when I upload the exact same file that fails in FileManager using the Uploads module (v1.3.0) it not only works, but works quickly.

Has anyone else seen this? I need to train some remote users on how to access and upload to my server and the timing here could not be worse. 

Any workarounds or suggestions?

Thanks much!

There's another config setting in config.php  the file manager listens to it..... Uploads doesn't.  I've gotta fix that.

Ah! Ok. so does this setting have to match the other settings? Or can I just raise it to be the same or higher?

the setting in the config.php can be raised to whatever you want..... but it's still subject to the limit in the php.ini.

Cool! I raised it to match the value in the php.ini and after an initial failure, raised the memory size from 32 to 64 and it works now.

I know it sounds like a lot of memory, but I was uploading a documentation tree (done once for every new project) and it required me to upload a mondo zip archive with lots on online help and PDF files...

But it uploaded fine and auto-extracted just as I wanted. Now all I have to do is to create the HTML to link to the files in question.

Thanks again Robert.
