I think that if you run a search on this board about 'memory_limit' and 'max_execution_time', one of my threads will show up
Here are my settings before I continue:
Server Type WINNT / PHP v4.2.2
File Uploads = On
MySQL v3.23.54-nt
PHP Maximum Upload Size 80M
PHP Max Post Size 80M
PHP Memory Limit N/A (even though it's set to 80M in the php.ini)
MySQL Maximum Packet Size 64.00 MB
max_execution_time = 7200 (2 hours)
I tried uploading by increments such as 500K files, 1meg file, 2 meg file and I even went for a 2.94meg file. All of these worked like a charm when I uploaded them.
However, when I tried to upload a simple 3meg or a 4meg file, I would see the page go to a 404 "The page cannot be displayed". I just increased the file weight by merely a meg and it's messing up. I tried everything and it looks like it's not working.
I also have to say that I havent seen a site out there that is using vB the way Im planning to use it - for premium member videos where subscribed members can come and download fairly big video files ranging from 5megs to 30-40 megs. If I can't upload a small 5meg video file, how the hell am I gonna upload something bigger if I need to in the near future.
Then again, I do kick myself in the head now telling myself that it's never too great to 'upload' big file via HTTP. It's never the best way to do it.
If there's a vB staff person that can shine some light on this for me, I would really appreciate it. Looks like I might have to rethink how I'm going to 'protect' these videos for members only.
Cheers!
