Forgive my ignorance on NSN Downloads... but

how can I change the file upload restriction size? I need it a tad bit larger. Thanks!

Larger than what - 2 MB? There are 2 places for that: 1) in the HTML on the upload page, and 2) in the php.ini.

Thank you. Now I see that the size was not the problem. I am getting this error in my error log when people try to upload, I talked about this once before and I though it was solved, it is not. The error:

Code:

PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpFviUO3' to '/home/*****/public_html/Files/AlleywayTrader.zip' in /home/*****/public_html/modules/Submit_Downloads/index.php on line 202
PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/*****/public_html/Files/AlleywayTrader.zip): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/*****/public_html/modules/Submit_Downloads/index.php on line 202

Line 202 is:

Code:

} elseif (move_uploaded_file($imageurl_temp, $cidinfo['uploaddir']."/$imageurl_name")) {

Can anyone please help me... thank you.

Looks like a permissions problem on the /public_html/Files directory. It needs write access - try 666 or 777.

Okay I changed permissions on the folder and it is working... at least i was able to upload a file... is it unsecure to have a folder permissions at 666 or 777? Thanks!

It might depend on your host. If 666 works, you should use that.

What would have caused this to stop working? I had received submissions through it before and got the email telling me about them and everything. Then people started telling me of errors and I found them in my error log...

Let me ask you this, has this ever happened to you on your .htaccess file that Sentinel uses?

Also, had you by chance uploaded some directories/files that could have "touched" this directory at all?

I am not 100% certain yet where this is going, but trying to look for clues...

hmm no I do not think so about Sentinel. Can you give an example of your second question? Thank you for your help.

Regarding the second question, I think I have seen some FTP client reset permissions on a file/folder upon uploading. So, I was wondering if maybe you re-uploaded something and it reset the directory permissions.

ah. I have had one person ftping files..... interesting. I will see what client he was using.

You might want to run a test with him/her to see if it is changing the directory permissions.

That is unusual - I haven't heard of FTP clients changing permissions by default, but you can certainly do that on purpose.

I'm sorry I do not know where the php.ini is inside the NSN GR downloads. I need to change the size of allowed uploads...

It isn't - it is a server file. If you don't have access to it, you need to talk to your host

In some cases, you can override it by creating a local PHP.ini - but unfortunately, you'll need a complete INI. You can only override certain settings locally and / or through php commands (which could be added to your config.php file, if desired.

In your .htaccess file, you could try something like: php_value upload_max_filesize 20M

Or, in your config.php: ini_set(upload_max_filesize, 20M);

Remember that the HTML setting must also be override (it checks on the client browser and defaults to 2MB, if I remember correctly).

I have personally had this happen to me back in the days when I was using Exceed's terrible FTP client. Wink
