XF 2.0 $config['maxImageResizePixelCount'] breaks forum

[BobHarbison]

I wanted to increase the maximum image size, so I added this to my config.php $config['maxImageResizePixelCount'] = '30000000'

The entire forum refuses to load when I tried that. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You need to ensure there’s a semi colon at the end of each line.

 

[BobHarbison]

OK, I'm an idiot. But, I now have a new problem.

The image uploads and doesn't give an "image too large" error. However, now it simply shows the file name with a line through it once it has finished uploading. So it's still rejecting it somehow.

 

[BobHarbison]

Here's a screenshot of the results. The image seems to upload just fine, no error message, and then an instant later I get this:

 

[BobHarbison]

Server error log doesn’t show any errors. There’s no error message when uploading either, it appears to work, you do not get the file too large error. However, the result is what you see above, a line through the image name as if it was deleted.

Looks like the file you upload is bigger than you allow. Check to see the max file uplosd in php as eell

 

[BobHarbison]

No, that's not the issue. It's definitely pixel count. I've got upload size set to 10 MB in php.ini as well as in attachment options. The file size is only 800KB, but over the 20K pixels. It uploads but gives me that result. A 950K version of the same file, but re-sized to fit under the 20K pixels works just fine, even though it's a larger file size in MB. So it's like something is still "remembering" the 20K pixel limit.

 

[BobHarbison]

As a test, I just uploaded a 1.8MB image (over twice the file size) and it also uploaded just fine. But it's under the 20K pixels as well.

I've opened a ticket on this and so far, no luck. It works fine with images up to and including 24 mp. But a 36 mp image gives the "instant delete" problem shown above. I've looked at the server error log, php error log and xenforo error log and none of them are showing anything.

Anyone else seen this issue? If so, how have you fixed it?

 

[AndyB]

Can we get a link to the 36 mp image.

Here’s a couple sample images that break it

Btw, I have determined, through repeated tests, that it’s dimensions, not file size, that cause the issue. I’ve compressed that image to the point it’s a low res posterized mess, and still no luck. OTOH, a 24 MP image 3 times as big (in kB) works just fine.

1) I saved this image to my computer.
2) I uploaded as an attachment the image to my forum.

No problem at all, it reduced the size to 140 KB and the new dimensions are 1600 x 1068.

Here are my attachments settings:

Admin control panel -> Setup -> Options -> Attachments

Maximum attachment file size = 50000
Maximum attachment image dimensions = 1600 x 6000
Default image processor = Imagemagick PECL extension

In the config.php file I have:

$config['maxImageResizePixelCount'] = 100000000;

Here are my PHP settings in WHM.

Home -> Software -> MultiPHP INI Editor

 

[BobHarbison]

Maximum attachment image dimensions = 1600 x 6000

1600 x *6000*? Interesting. So you go on width, not height?

 

[AndyB]

Yes width is a better constraint so many images a post look good.

Other options are:

1600 x 1600
1600 x 2000

 

[BobHarbison]

OK, that makes sense. Unfortunately, changing it to 6000 didn't help. I've changed my php.ini settings to match yours, (most were already there) and no luck there either.

Had my hosting install the PECL wrapper, switched to that, and now it works! THANK YOU!
