Upload stuck at approx. 200 MB

    Hi Thom,

    I run a site for sharing large files with your plugin (it’s great!).

    When trying to upload files larger than 200MB (say 450MB) the upload hangs at about 200MB. I tried several big files with different filetypes. I have changed server settings to 2G (we have a VPS Cloud and can change max size using Plesk). This is not enough.

    I changed the php.ini file with the following rules:

    upload_max_filesize = 2000M
    post_max_size = 2000M
    max_execution_time = -1
    max_input_time = -1
    memory_limit = 2000M
    file_uploads = On
    upload_max_filesize memory_limit = 2000M

    This didn’t help also. At last I also tried changing htaccess file:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /share/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /share/index.php [L]
    php_value upload_max_filesize 2000M
    php_value post_max_size 2000M
    php_value max_execution_time -1
    php_value max_input_time -1
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Unfortunaly this also doesn’t resolve the problem. I’m starting to pull hears out of my head ??

    When I check the page in Chrome I see this:
    https://mydomain/share/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=fileaway-manager Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

    Maybe you can help so I doen’t get bald ??

    Thanks in advance.

    Your server is timing out. Some servers have multiple php.ini files and that may be the case here. Do you have a host you can talk to about this? I’ve successfully uploaded files as large as 2GB using [fileup] many times in the past.

    Thanks for your reply Thom. I will contact my ISP for this.
    I will let you know when the issue is fixed (and how).

    Hi Thom,

    Had contact with host. Because the site with plugin is hosted on a VPS we have full control. They don’t have any “higher” restrictions.

    They say it can have something to do with the PHP settings. I changed upload limits, upload time etc. to values way above needed.

    Are there maybe other files with setting that can override base PHP settings?

    For your information: I use your plugin in Woffice theme.

    Hi Thom,

    It has been a while, but I seem to have resolved the issue.

    FASTCGI is causing the/my problem. When I change the PHP settings on our VPS to CGI instead of FASTCGI, the upload continues and the file is written/saved to the server correctly. I Managed to upload a zip of about 350MB without problems.

    I hope this can help some other users too.

    Kind regards.
