Unable to Upload Using File Up

    This is an amazing plugin!! Thanks for all of the hard work you have done to put together the new File Up feature. I am unfortunately having a problem with that feature, however.

    I have an SSL secured site which has wordpress installed in a subdirectory. I have successfully used other file upload utilities in the past to upload files to a specified subdirectory. Anyway, I used the shortcode for FileUp, added to a page. I see the dropdown for the directory, and the “Add Files” button and the “FileUp” button. I am also able to add a file for upload to the list below the directory dropdowns. However, upon clicking “FileUp” I get an error message “Sorry about that, but XXXX.pdf could not be uploaded.” I have tried several versions of the shortcode, including no options, multiple options, etc. I am using the Inovado 4.5.2 theme. Thanks so much for your help.

    I got onto Autumn Owl’s site and added the shortcodes and was able to upload immediately. Not sure what his original problem was but it worked for me right off the bat, and he is now using it with no problems.

    As for your setup Spestka, might be a permission issue with your vhost? Hence not being able to upload or delete? Just a guess.

    Just an update: I did have to have my webhost manually change my max upload limit, as their limit overrode my php.ini. Once they did that, I could upload just fine all the way up to about 160M. Anything more than that simply hangs and doesn’t finish uploading, even though it appears as though the progress bar has gone all the way to 100%. I’m thinking there’s something in my settings I need to fix, but regardless, once the upload limit was changed by my host, I could upload larger files.

    Thanks again for all your help!

    After it uploads it has to move the file from the temp directory to the specified path, which should normally take milliseconds. It could be a script timeout issue, also a setting in your php.ini.

    Not sure what in my ini could cause this hangup, the only lines in it are for the upload limits, but I’m still poking around various settings to see if I can figure it out. Smaller files it uploads fine, then gives me the green check-mark. These bigger ones just sit with the progress bar filled up and go nowhere. I’ll probably look at this with fresh eyes tomorrow. I’m fairly exhausted right now and I think sleep would do me well.

    You might need to add some more settings for

    max_input_time = -1

    for instance. -1 means unlimited.

    I’m currently uploading a 419.5MB file to my server. I’ll let you know how it goes.

    And get some sleep.

    sounds good. I’ll try that really quick and see if it makes a difference.

    Welp. I just successfully uploaded a 419.5 MB video file. So there.

    woo! awesome! That gives me hope. I’m off to read that page now. This is one of those things that’s eating at me and I won’t be able to sleep until I fix it LOL

    Oh believe me, I know.

    And, we have discovered that spestka’s issue was permissions all along, which means he’s all up and running. Yay!

    Oh good!!! I’m still working on my settings, to stop the really large files from hanging, but for the most part it’s all working as it should. ??

    1) Create a blank text document
    2) Paste the code posted below into it
    3) Save it as index.php in a subdirectory called “test” somewhere in your wordpress install directory.
    4) Navigate in your browser to that subdirectory called “test”

    <?php ?>
<html><body>
post_max_size: <?php echo ini_get('post_max_size'); ?><br />
upload_max_filesize: <?php echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize'); ?><br />
memory_limit: <?php echo ini_get('memory_limit'); ?><br />
max_input_time: <?php echo ini_get('max_input_time'); ?><br />
max_execution_time: <?php echo ini_get('max_execution_time'); ?><br /><br />
</body></html>

    Well these numbers don’t even make sense… my upload limit was changed to 500M (even wordpress states that).

    post_max_size: 8M
    upload_max_filesize: 16M
    memory_limit: 40M
    max_input_time: 60
    max_execution_time: 30

    This is what my php.ini has in it:
    upload_max_filesize = 500M
    post_max_size = 520M
    upload_max_filesize = 500M
    post_max_size = 520M
    upload_max_filesize = 500M
    post_max_size = 520M
    max_input_time = -1
    max_execution_time = -1

    I’m doing something wrong somewhere.
