[ale] Error uploading a file using a PHP webpage

[Hughes, Michael]

this is the error 
This error probably means that the file you tried to upload exceeded the limit set by your host. The default limit in PHP is 2MB. You can contact your host's Support group to have them increase the limit in the PHP.ini file, or you can upload the file using FTP. Use the Add GEDCOM page to add a GEDCOM file you have uploaded using FTP.
 
 
Also when I look in the php.ini file i don't see any entries for this setting anywhere 

1. post_max_size variable in php.ini

according to the documentation here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody

the limitrequestbody is set to 0 which is unlimited.  

I haven't changed anything in the httpd.conf file

Off to do more looking for a solution.

thanks for the suggestions.

 

Mike

What error do you get? I've had a similar problem in the past, but it was related to read/write permissions of the directory. There's also a memory limit setting for PHP that affects file uploads, but I don't recall where.

	Trying to upload a file using a PHP embedded script ( guess that's the proper way to say it).  I bring up a webpage and it tells me to select my file and then click an upload button, theoretically it should import/upload my file to the /index directory but I get this error.

	I went into the PHP.ini file and changed the max upload to 25M
	 
	

	; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
	file_uploads = On
	 
	; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
	; specified).
	;upload_tmp_dir =
	 
	; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
	upload_max_filesize = 25M
	
	 
	I didn't see any other entries for an upload size.  Does anyone have any ideas?
	 
	thanks
