Unable To Post Files Larger Than 500kb
-----------------------------------
[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]I have two forums using the most recent release candidate and including the updates released right after at the beginning of April. I changed the upload capability of one forum to 10MB in the attachments section of the ACP and the downloads configurations. The other forum is set to 15MB. In both forums I get error messages and it doesn't matter what the file type is, meaning, rar, zip, etc will not upload. One message says "no post mode specified" and the other says the file is empty. Multiple files have been tried just to rule that out as an issue as well. So, I'm either missing something completely on both forums or it may be a bug. 

My host is godaddy.com and I am using linux as the format. The two forums are on two different hosting plans as well so they may very well be on two different server types. Let me know if you have any ideas or if you need more information. Thanks![/color][/font]

One thing is important to know... if you upload a small file it is working fine?

[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]Yes. Sorry I didn't make that clear. I am perfectly able to upload small files. :*)[/color][/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]Hey just wanted to let you know this issue seems to have been resolved for me with the newest update. :*)

EDIT: One site is working, the other is not. I'll update on the second site once I've made sure everything was upgraded. [/color][/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]First of all, sorry for the double post, just wanted to make sure this gets seen. :*)

The first forum continues to working just fine. The second forum, has been updated twice just to make sure nothing was missed. I still cannot post larger files than 500kb to posts. I constantly receive "Tried to upload empty file" when trying to submit larger files. Thanks for the help![/color][/font]

It is really strange... are you sure that isn't your provider blocking larger files?

I might have thought this except it's the same provider used for both sites and I've been able to post larger files in the past. Very odd I know. I'm going to take the forums down and redo them. Not much has been posted there yet so it won't hurt anything. Only thing I can think of that caused this is a corrupted install perhaps. It's odd. [/color][/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]Okay I found out what the issue but I would appreciate help finding where to fix the issue. Apparently the forums are timing out before the transfer of information can take place and I was advised to change the time out duration to a more lengthy time. Hopefully someone can help me with this. Thanks![/color][/font]

Maybe it's something related to your server. Your conexion espires and transfer is not completed

Re: Unable To Post Files Larger Than 500kb

[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]According to my host, and the files I upload via regular ftp, the server is fine, the issue deals with a timeout set in the forums it appears because all other transfers work fine outside of the forum. I can absolutely transfer 10MB files and higher in some cases with no problems to the server directly via ftp and I know the forums work thanks to a fresh install. It's not a big deal if I can just find out where I can change the timeout duration to a higher number, assuming this is possible. :*)  [/color][/font]

Re: Unable To Post Files Larger Than 500kb

But it's got nothing related on what what u can or cannot do in ftp.

Upload limits are also limited by the php configuration and thus you may not be able to exceed the default php(not phpBB) limit set in the php.ini, unless of course you have access tot he php.ini to be able to change some settings

The follwing will need adjusting,

    * memory_limit
    * post_max_size
    * upload_max_filesize

and possibly

    * max_execution_time
    * max_input_time

Re: Unable To Post Files Larger Than 500kb
-----------------------------------
[font=Trebuchet MS][color=darkblue]Right, there is no issue with upload size, I have verified this with the server and while I know the forum doesn't have to do with ftp, I was trying to point out (I guess vaguely, I apologize I'm very tired today) that file size is not the actual issue. I was told to modify the php.ini file but frankly I wasn't aware there is one in the forums. This is why I am not a coder hehe. So the php.ini file is part of the hosting info, not the phpbb or icyphoenix? I was led to believe it was found in the forums files. Basically though you have hit the nail on the head. If I can just find the php.ini file I'm golden. Thanks. :*)[/color][/font]

EDIT: I found the file. Thanks for your help Zuker. :*)
