I'm going to post this question here, and then again in Joomla.org, as I'm sure the answer to my question could be related to ChronoForms or Joomla. Here goes:
I'm working on a client website. It uses Chronoforms to upload files to a printer's pre-press people. Problem is, the client needs to be able to send very large files, in excess of 500MB, on occasion. His "old" website did it using an HTML form, which, I'm assuming, might have used a PERL/CGI extension. Just guessing. However, the NEW site's forms have never allowed me to upload anything larger than about 10MB. Anything much larger, and I get an error: You are not authorized to access this resource (that's not the exact message. I'm trying again, when the upload fails, I'll post the exact text).
- I have gone into my .htaccess and changed:
php_value upload_max_filesize 600M
php_value post_max_size 600M
php_value max_execution_time 600
php_value max_input_time 600
- I have also gone into my PHP.INI and changed its settings to match the same size and timeout limits.
I still can't send large files.
Do you think this is a Joomla problem, or is there something I can do within the ChronoForm scripts to accomodate large files?
Also, the lack of a progress bar makes it difficult for me to troubleshoot the actual issue. Is the file sending at all? When does it time out? Who knows, because I have no real idea of its progress. I've searched for "progress bar" on this site, and the answers I see are sort of vague. They hint that their is a solution, but I think I might need more of a "Progress Bars for Dummies" solution (i.e. spell it out).
Your thoughts?
