size too high: connection reset in browser

[mobileric]

hello,

i have problems when i try to upload too large files. i choose the file i want, click ok and my browser says the connection was reseted. so there are no debug infos i could post. batch uploading works fine with too large files. phpinfo says my server has gd 1.6.2

uploading smaller files works great

i´d be very glad to be helped

thanks for your reply.
i am unsure about
4. memory_limit - 8MB is the default size
and
5. PHP's LimitRequestBody - 512KB default limit

what do they do? my host runs on redhat/apache. is this 512kb limit ok or should it be higher, eg 8mb?

i do not have access to the server config, and i´m asking instead of trying because i want to be sure what to say them

[Joachim Müller]

usually memory limit - 8MB is a very low value.

ok,

so if i have 10 upload fields, and the maximum filesize should be 2048kB, then would it be correct to use for post_max_size and memory_limit 20MB? but what for phps limitrequestbody? what should this be? also 20mb? im sorry but i have no plan how these variables differ

thanks!

no, the memory needed is not the sum of file sizes, but depends on dimensions and color depth of the files you upload, as the memory is being consumed by the calculation of the of intermediate image and the thumbnails. Please search the board if you want an exact number, the formula has been posted several times already.

[mobileric]

did it,

but found no formula (searched for "formula" and "memory_limit")
either i am blind or don´t know how to search i board (hope the first one )

don´t even want to know an exact value, let´s say, would be 50mb ok?

[Joachim Müller]

why don't you try and give us feedback

[mobileric]

so i told my provider to set:
upload_max_filesize: 2MB
post_max_size: 20MB
memory_limit:50MB
PHP's LimitRequestBody:2MB, or leave it as it was if above values were not ok

ill tell you if i know more
