[Plugin: BuddyPress Media Component] documentation, support, upload video and kaltura

[Sat Sep 08 22:56:02 2012] [warn] [client IP] mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 16777235 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (16777216), referer: https://domain.com/members/peter/media/

[Sat Sep 08 22:58:38 2012] [warn] [client IP] mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 16777307 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (16777216), referer: https://domain.com/members/peter/media/
for 25Mb mp4

Does this make sense given my settings in dedicated server phpini? Should I try overriding in wpconfig or htaccess?

Given you calcs I recon 65Mb should be OK with just 9750 length.

MaxRequestLen (16777216)

Buddy, your fastcgi module is configured to only take a max lenght of 16MB in a post, so the requests are failing…..
Try changing the MaxRequestLen value in fcgid.conf file(located generally in /etc/httpd/conf.d/) to higher than 65MB (lets say 75000000) so that your server will accept the post.

Hey Gagan, thanks for persevering with this. There’s ini for server and domain, I’ve got this in phpinfo now, so I should be there.
max_execution_time 75000000
max_file_uploads 20
max_input_nesting_level 64
max_input_time 75000000
max_input_vars 1000

Buddy, in my last comment, I meant you to increase the upload limit, not time limit. The error log you posted gives a clear idea that the problem is caused by the request length, i.e. how much you can upload in a single request, which is defined somewhere in the fcgid.conf which you can find here /etc/http/conf.d/fcgid.conf, edit the figure corresponding to the MaxRequestLen to 75000000

Hi, contents of file here: https://paste.pagelines.com/5p4

BUT https://IP/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/last_httpd_ip_default.include

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
FcgidInitialEnv PP_CUSTOM_PHP_INI /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/etc/php.ini
FcgidMaxRequestLen 16777216
</IfModule>

*16777216 is the offending value, have changed to;

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
FcgidInitialEnv PP_CUSTOM_PHP_INI /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/etc/php.ini
FcgidMaxRequestLen 75000000
</IfModule>

* given /last_httpd_ip_default.include
I presume this will be overridden by other server admin saves

I have this in phpinfo but there’s no reporting for MaxRequestLen;
max_execution_time 75000000

I guess I should try it.

You’ll be glad to know it works! Thank you for your help Gagan.
Can I ask about grabbing thumbnail from video, or setting one, is it in the scope of the plug? Also, ditto for .mp3’s, would be great to add album cover as a thumbnail.

You are welcome buddy, I am marking this topic as solved. Anything else bugs up, let us know, we’ll be there to help ??

Can I ask about grabbing thumbnail from video, or setting one, is it in the scope of the plug?

Creating video thumbnails in PHP is not in scope but it is doable using premium plugins. Down in roadmap, we will be adding a support for a remote video-thumbnail service (freemium).

For audio, we have plans to use ID3 tags or something similar. See: https://github.com/rtCamp/buddypress-media/issues/38
