[SOLVED] Apache2 + PHP5 and Fileuploads via POST > 1GB

cyberio · 02-22-2010, 10:27 AM

Hi all !

my server :
ubuntu jaunty 9.04 32bits
apache2 2.2.11-2ubuntu2.5
php5 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.5

I have a problem uploading large files :
from 0 to 1 048 576 000 octet (1000mega) : OK
greater... KO... i mean even no file uploading temporaly in /tmp

I have tried using "jyraphe" or "openupload" in the server part and from mozilla or IE in the client part.... always the same thing...

php.ini :
post_max_size = 5G
upload_max_filesize = 5G

I even set "LimitRequestBody 10000000000" in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default thinking the default value (not set OR 0) didnt work but...

ALWAYS THE SAME THING grrrrrr !

Please help me (even the openupload dev is interrested in the answer)

I found a couple of possibilities,

Quote:

If memory limit is enabled by your configure script, memory_limit also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size

Quote:

Note: PHP allows shortcuts for bit values, including K (kilo), M (mega) and G (giga). PHP will do the conversions automatically if you use any of these. Be careful not to exceed the 32 bit signed integer limit (if you're using 32bit versions) as it will cause your script to fail.

Well this seems more an hard limit to me... remember what i have said :
"even no file uploading temporaly in /tmp" !!

less than 1go : file immediatly uploading temporaly in /tmp
more... nothing !!

??? im getting crazy with this thing lol

memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size ? memory_limit of 2Go ? i dont think so but i ll try and tell you...
(tested -> KO)

i heard about the 32 bit limit but cant get the point with this 1go limit...

anyway thanks for trying to help me

news !!

testing with a simple perl script i CAN upload files more than 1Go...

I am i right if i say that this means that PHP is the guilty apache extension for this bug ?

RESOLVED !

In fact it s a 2Go 32 bit hard limit

Setting those parameters to 5Go while only make php to go to default value... 1Go...

grrrr
