Big FIle Upload Error - Invalid Folder ID

[KoS]

Hi

i have increased in php.ini the upload_max_filesize to 40M and i'm trying to upload a 25MB file. when i use smaller files, it works, but when i try the 25MB file, i get after the upload only the red error message "Invalid Folder ID". the log shows me the following message:

Code:

op.AddDocument UI::exitError error=Invalid Folder ID pagetitle=Folder 'Invalid Folder ID'

is this a bug or an error on my site?

greets

It's strange.
Do you have some other details about?
Only add document gives this erroe? Have you test attachment or Update?

It could be a server timeout?

The "invalid folder id" error is only at the beginning of the script where $_POST["folderid"] is controlled.
You could add a:

echo $_POST["folderid"];

after the includes.. to verify if the posted var is corrupted.

I have a similar problem.
I am using PHP 5.2.14 and Mysql 5.0.67

When I upload files of > 10M when the limit is set to 50M in php.ini, I get the same error and the $_POST["folderid"] is null.

It works OK with smaller files.

Log only shows the Error

The solution was simple

There are two parameters in php.ini that affect the upload size.

If the size exceeds the upload_max_size you get an error notification.

If the size exceeds the post_max_size there is no error but the $_POST parameters appear to be blank.

The solution is obvious - set post_max_size greater or equal to upload_max_size

The solution is obvious - set post_max_size greater or equal to upload_max_size

With my ISP, having safe_mode set to OFF, I've put the following in a custom php.ini in folder /op/ :
post_max_size = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
max_execution_time = 120

This post was a life saver as I had the same issue. Remember it is important to also set max_execution_time to a higher number else the post data gets corrupted again.
