XF 1.4 Can't upload avatars

[Ark Royal]

Evening All,

I upgraded from 1.3.5 to 1.41 over the weekend and all has appeared to have gone very smoothly.
However, today I have tried to upload an avatar and have received the following message:-

The uploaded file is too large for the server to process.

The file size is much smaller than the limits set, I ave also tried uploading an avatar that is already in use and get the same message.

Is there an option I need to setup/change due to the upgrade?

Have you updated your PHP binary?
Then this might help: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...is-too-large-for-the-server-to-process.23406/

Have you updated your PHP binary?

I have not updated my PHP binary.
Would the upgrade change it?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

Would the upgrade change it?

Nope... but it would if you (or someone else) updated the size limit by using ini_set() in XF's core files...

Take a look into your php.ini and check the limits stated in the thread I linked...

 

[Ark Royal]

The link does not say where to find php.ini.
Any idea where it is as it is not in my forum directory?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

somewhere in

/etc/php5

 

[Ark Royal]

Ah OK, so nothing to do with xenforo then.
I will check with my hosts to see if they have made any changes.

But I can still upload images to the forum but not as avatars

But I can still upload images to the forum but not as avatars

hmmm... have you checked the max file size of avatar in user group permission?

 

[Ark Royal]

Yep it has not changed, avatars already in use cannot be uploaded either!
The problem is also on my local test site in XAMPP as well so I do not think the hosts are the issue.

 

[Ark Royal]

Hmm, I don't know why but tried using Chrome and all is OK.
Firefox, which I updated yesterday, does not allow me to upload anything???

 

[Paul B]

I have responded to your ticket.

 

[Ark Royal]

Seems it isn't just me. A number of my Firefox users are experiencing the same issue.
It is not specific to my hosts as my local test site exhibited the same issue.
@Brogan advised me to clear the Firefox Cache and to disable all plug-ins and extensions.
After doing this I could drag files to be displayed in posts once again.
I then re-enabled all plug-ins and extensions and have not seen the problem re-appear

 

[Paul B]

Is it this problem?

If so, it is a FF bug.

 

[Ark Royal]

It is probably related but I am not using the upload button, I was simply dropping a file in the reply box and recieved the "uploaded file is too large for the server to process." error

 

[Ark Royal]

So out of the blue this evening I can not drag and drop files onto my forum using Firefox or Chrome without getting and erroneousness error message being displayed


If I try IE all works fine?

I have no made changes to my forum for some time, anyone have any ideas why this issue has just started out of the blue?

 

[Paul B]

If it works in IE then that would suggest a FF browser issue.

If it works in IE then that would suggest a FF browser issue.

And Chrome ?
Strangely both work on this forum!

 

[Ark Royal]

Don't understand what is going on as I have not changed anything but today I can once again upload using all browsers!
