Dear All,

I have installed net2ftp "web-based FTP client written in PHP" in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.11 (Tikanga) operating system.

I've installed PHP 5.1.6 in my server.

[root@Kannan ~]# php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Oct 28 2014 09:19:42)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
[root@Kannan ~]#

I can able to upload file less than 1GB file in webftp.

My goal is to upload files more than 1GB zip file in webftp. So i have changed the below setting in /etc/php.ini file.

post_max_size = 1024M
upload_max_filesize = 2048M
max_execution_time = 36000
memory_limit = 32M

After changing the above values we have restarted Apache service.

Even after changing the upload max_filesize value to 2048M, we are getting the below error.

[Thu Apr 06 10:20:41 2017] [error] [client 172.16.239.65] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 1737927603 bytes exceeds the limit of 1073741824 bytes in Unknown on line 0, referer: https://ecaree.kannan.com/webftp/index.php

I have googled regarding this issue but no luck.

Could please help me on this issue.

Thanks

post_max_size = 1024M

This setting needs to be at least the value of upload_max_filesize because a file upload is a POST request. Set it to 2G?

Hi

Thanks

Now the below setting is fine ?

post_max_size = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 1024M

No not fine because you changed upload max to 1 gig again. What was meant both post and upload needs to be 2048.

Hi

I'm getting the below error when i made the below changes in php.ini file.

post_max_size = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 2048M

It looks like you are on a 32bit system, where 2GB is a limit. So you need to set both of them a little lower:

post_max_size = 2047M
upload_max_filesize = 2047M

My system is 64bit system. Please see the below output.

[root@Kannan ~]# file /sbin/init
/sbin/init: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[root@informatix ~]#

[root@Kannan ~]# arch
x86_64

Kindly advice

Thanks

The error message says the limit is -2147483648 which I think is because of a 32bit signed int is overflowing. PHP version 5.1.6 is very old, and and I think that's the reason. You need to set it slightly lower than 2048Mb or use a newer version of PHP.

Hi Guttorm,

Thanks a lot !!

As per your suggestion i have configured maximum upload limit post max limit 2047M. And now i'm able to upload files less than 2 GB.

So i'll upgrade my PHP to latest, So that i can i upload more than 2 GB zip files.

My issue has been resolved.

Ram Kannan.
