What error messages if any are you getting?

How big are the files?

5.5 Mb

My php configuration is at
upload_max_filesize = 50 Mb

My BinaryFile DataType is at 50 Mb.

I'm desperate...
Thanks for helping me!

You may want to check the error log (for apache)

I'm guessing here as I do not have access to your system but I'd say that it is a resource related issue.

The system is running out of resources (memory/diskspace) and the process is not completing.

It seems that ezpublish relies on imagemagick for image processing and it may be running out of resources.

You may try uping the memory_limit in php.ini - I'm not sure if this will help - it usually generates a visable error if this is an issue.

I've changed memory_limit to 50Mb, I can now upload 6.5 Mb files, but for larger files like 18 Mb theres a php warning :

Warning: PHP Feb 11 2003 09:49:01
Undefined variable: validatedAttributesLog in /<install dir>/kernel/content/attribute_edit.php on line 263

So it does look like a memory resource issue. I guess you will have to increase the memory_limit until you can process the size of the files you want. You may have to add more memory to your system ;)

My guess is the lines below are due to the failure of the upload.

I have to find a solution to upload very large files in the future. The files are video files and can be over 50 mb. I looking for a good solution to upload those.

My idea:
Write an applet. That applet gets the file. Splits it in pieces. And transfers it over SOAP to ez. ez will builds the complete file again out of the pieces(server thread to large?).

When it comes to serving I would say that can't be done by php because of the size. I am right? Some Apache thread with 50mb isn't that wise. I thought of an streaming server like darwin to do that.

Has anyone of you a better idea?

Hm, i just can tell you: I am able to uploade a 11 MB file, after raising the PHP max_post_size and max_upload_size (i think).
No problem, but the system has lots of memory.
