This has been grinding my gears for at least a week now.
I have a site which has a crucial function – the upload component. Without it, the site is completely useless.
Now, lots of users have problems uploading files. This is why I implemented a log system that keeps track of what happens when the file is on the server.
Problem is, only a minority of problems happen when the file is on the server, the problems happen client side.
For example, when I tried SWFUpload the errors where ‘I/O Error’. When I changed to Uploadify I get ‘HTTP Error’. I am trying to get a more detailed error description as I type this.
I am starting to think its not the client or the upload software, but the server. What could be wrong? The following directives for PHP are set:
upload_max_filesize 200M
post_max_size 200M
memory_limit 256M
max_execution_time 4200
max_input_time 4200
I simply have no clue why file uploads are failing. They should not fail. I would really appreciate any answers as why the uploads could be failing.
Thank you.
Are you using enctype=”multipart/form-data” as an attribute in your HTML form element?
