Upload big wmv files

Is it possible to upload big wmv files <300MB ??
when i or my members try now we got the timeout an the error : This page cutten be found.

on this page i have read http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=24088.0 )

Please keep in mind that HTTP uploads are limited by the restrictions placed upon them in PHP's configuration.

Things to check:

1. max_input_time- 60 seconds is the default time limit for uploading files.

This time limit includes the time it takes for the files to upload, so if you exceed this limit, the file will not even parse, and the browser will not get a response. You can workaround this by trying to upload smaller or fewer files, or you can try uploading over broadband. The best solution, of course, is to increase the time limit to something more in line with your needs.

2. upload_max_filesize - 2MB is the default limit for individual files.

3. post_max_size - 8MB is the default limit for post requests.

4. memory_limit - 8MB is the default size.

I can se that the timelimit is 60 sek ..... is it possible to change this ?
I can see that the max size is 2MB, but it seems that i have no problem to upload file a 39MB , but when i try a very big file i got ther error.

Try FTP and 'Batch Add' under Admin.

what is this doing ?

[mk]

and how is this help my members to upload large files?

[Joachim Müller]

Not at all, it's an admin-only feature. There's no way to circumvent server-sided restrictions nor client-sided restrictions if the server isn't yours to configure.

[mk]

is it possible to config the server whit a .htaccess file so it is possible to upload bigger files?

[Joachim Müller]

No. Only possible method is to configure via php.ini as suggested in the sticky thread. Usually (on shared webhosting), your webhost won't allow you to edit those parameters, as this would mean to give you more computing power on the server, which would mean that less virtual hosts could share the same server, which is simply an economic matter for your webhost. That's why the proverbial "what you pay is what you get" applies for webhosting as well. Sign up for a better (i.e. more powerful, but usually more expensive) webhosting contract if you need more computing power on your server. If you can't/won't, then you simply won't be able to allow your users to upload large files. Sorry about that, but this isn't something you could circumvent on application level (where Coppermine is the application in question), but one level up on server setup level. If there was an easy method to circumvent those server-sided restrictions, everybody would apply them.
If you need more information on this issue, contact your webhost - we simply can't give any other advice.

thanks for a god and useble answer i don cant use to enyshing, but thats seem not to be your mistage 

[mk]

I have spoken to the host and they have try somthing and say that it is Coppermine who is somshing wrong whit and not the server?

[mk]

ps. the problem is NOT solved 

[Joachim Müller]

I didn't say that there was something wrong with your webhost's setup, so you might have asked them the wrong question in the first place. I didn't say that there could be a solution for you.

[mk]

is I realy the only one and first that have this problem to upload files bigger then 39MB ?

ps. I cant use my webhost answer to somshing, the just say : use FTP insted, and that is not the idea whit using Coppermine to a Member bio to oure homevideos.  :'(

[Joachim Müller]

Uploading large files from the browser is tricky, as there are browser timeouts as well. Coppermine hasn't been designed with http uploading of 39MB-files in mind. So if you need an app where users can upload such large files, you may have to look for another app, as coppermine is not meant for you then. There's little use in ranting about this fact.
