This thing aint working for me

no matter the imput i put on it still says its too larg

Great! I can see the difference too - in this hotel, its reaching me at 200 kB/sec, which isn't bad at all.

Did you use the very large value I suggested? - i.e. about quarter of a megabyte?

Good old Bill G.

Check on these points:

What size and what type of file are you trying to upload?
What is the maximum filesize for this file type set in your main VB/admincp/attachments/extensions and sizes
What values are configured into your php.ini (VB/maintenance/phpinfo) for the following settings: *upload_max_filesize* and *post_max_sizecode*

I have 2 issues:

1. when a user tries to download something it makes it to about 2 megs and stops.
2. it is not recording the hits when a user clicks to download

any suggestions?

You are probably using all the cpu time allowed for php scripts (typically 30 seconds - maybe you have to increase this)

Where is the download coming from (your own server or somewhere else - expensive) and how do you have it recorded in LDM.

If the file is on your own machine, then are you identifiying it as http://yoursite/file or simply as /file? - the second will be much faster.

Take a look at the section in instructions.txt about speed versus security

On the second, the hit is only recorded when the download completes successfully.

Let me know if these suggestions don't help

How would I go about increasing this?

It is coming from my server.

ok. I was using http://yoursite/file, but i just changed it to /file? and now it is telling me that the link check failed, but when i click the link next to the "link check failed" text it is going to the correct file. ???

I have local_file_root set to 0

ok... I changed force_redirect to 1, local_file_root to 1, and moved the files to a directory not in the web directory. One of the files works fine although slow. I have another file with the same ./uploads/file.zip location, but it keeps telling me the link check failed. I have checked the server multiple times and checked the spelling and everything is correct. Any idea why it won't find the file?

Edit the php.ini file


If you cant get to the bottom of this, pm me with details of your board and an account with admin privs and Ill take a look. Mazbe Sunday as Im travelling

On your speed problems, what sort of machine are you using as a server. Windows or Linux and which web server. There are some tweaks we have just sorted out for Windows systems

Andrew .. i hav a question...
i like the script a lot... but in my forum i basically will be sharing artists demo music.. so its painful to add media files everytime... is it possible to make a directory listing of specific folder.. and users can download?
Thanx~
