XF 1.4 Error Uploading File After Moving to New VPS

[rbharathi]

Hi
I am facing this error when uploading files,

The following error occurred
There was a problem uploading your file.

I am hosting my forum on a VPS,

searched through the forum, every one mentioned about mod_security?
but cant get the steps to fix on a VPS,

can i fix this from my VPS?,
between i am using Cpanel WHM.

i have tried disabling flash uploader, its not working for larger files,

i set max_execution_time is 1800 ,

is this related to max_input_time too?

small files are uploaded but large files are throwing this error,

I have set 64MB as post max size,
files are within 60MB only.

someone give me hint

Since it happens on large files there must be a limit somewhere.

Here are some server settings which might be limiting:

PHP (can be viewed at admin.php?tools/phpinfo):
max_execution_time
memory_limit
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

MySQL:
max_allowed_packet
max_packet_size
wait_timeout

Incidentally, does it only happen for images or all files? If it's only images then the graphics library might be in play:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Attachments -> Default Image Processor

Hi Jake,
Thank you for response ,
partially i cleared this issue by increasing max_upload_size to 128MB,


still i am getting that error for some files,
Trying mp4 files,
checked with 4 or 5 files,
3 of them uploaded but 2 of them giving error..!!
is there any ways to debug the error??

I can upload larger files on wordpress sites that hosted in my VPS,
so i am facing this error with xenforo only??
any help???

Please try disabling the Flash uploader in your options to see if it still happens.

Please try disabling the Flash uploader in your options to see if it still happens.

When i disable the flash uploader, i got the error,

That PHP error is a little weird and one I'll have to see if I can reproduce. It appears to be related to your max image dimensions; it seems they're set to weird values rather than blank or 0?

You likely also want to disable debug mode.
