Problems Uploading PDF

[Thurrock]

Hi Everyone

 

I am banging my head against the wall with a problem where I am trying to upload an array of file types but keep getting Internal Server Errors when uploading PDF files

 

I can upload images and word docs and spreadsheets but PDF is not working for me, have tried various different files and file sizes but still the same.

 

I have a form:

<form action="modules/docman/upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="pic" id="pic">
<input  type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="20000000">
</form>

I have simply tried to dump the file array in an effort to eliminate server side script causeing the problem and still get the Internal Server Error

var_dump($_FILES["pic"]);
exit;

The server environment is in my control, could be this but not too sure how, where and why.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Your http server is encountering an error, this is why you are getting Internal Server Error 500 message. You need to look at your servers error log to find out the cause of this error.

Hi I think I have found the error:

[Mon Mar 31 14:08:39 2014] [warn] [client xx.xx.xxx.x] mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 131400 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072), ...

This looks like a Fast CGI issue, not sure how is best to resolve this

 

 

Thanks

MaxRequestLen is currently capped to 128KB. Your file upload is exceeding this cap which is causing the 500 Internal Server Error.

 

 

 

The server environment is in my control

If you have access to the servers config, then you need to increase the current cap set for MaxRequestLen so it is greater than 131072 bytes  (128KB) to allow for your file uploads

Hi Thank you

 

That resolved the problem, for anyone who has this problem you need to edit the file in:

 

/etc/apache2/mods-available/fcgid.conf

 

then reboot Apache 

 

Works perfect.

 

Thanks Again
