Large Upload problem, 500 Error

troskater · March 8th, 2008, 3:34 PM

Ok, I'm working on a site that people can use to upload images, but I want to be able to upload larger files like videos and songs to it. My problem is that somehow I cannot do this.

At first the uploader was saying that my upload_max_filesize was too low(in php.ini).
So I changed it to reflect a higher value.

After this I tried to upload the file again and the script encountered a "500 Internal Server Error" and the file still was not uploaded.

I've been messing with this for a while now and I can't figure out why it won't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Make sure that you also increase the post_max_size in PHP.INI to a value larger than upload_max_filesize as you're most likely hitting that limit now if you are using a form for them to upload files with.

Hope that helps,
