For the last week or so I’ve been working on the beta version of the new StereoType Records website, but I’ve been hitting file size limitations at every turn.
After a number of calls to my host I decided that I was going to try and fix it myself. One of the error messages I received was while importing data from the current install:
“File upload failed. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.”
After about an hour’s diggin and sifting, I cam across a php.ini ‘template’ that seems to fit my needs, and most importantly, it resolved my file permissions and upload limit issue.
Here is the code: (found here)
register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off
expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 600
variables_order = “EGPCS”
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
memory_limit = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 64M
Man am I glad that’s over. Now, on to the next hiccup we go…
