I got a message from a user who was experiencing upload problems as so many other here do. He found one solution that some of you may find usefull:

I had the same problem as an other user in the forum. I received a server not found / blank page after trying to upload, but I found an error in the apache error_log. Apparently the default installation in RedHat 9 create a /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf in which it also sets another file size limit (LimitRequestBody). After changing the value it solved the problem for me.

Does that help anybody?

I had a torrid time trying to understand why photoshare and mediashare "broke" when trying to upload photos greater than 100k.

I came across a post by Jorn asking if anybody had had problems with RedHat 9 installations and the LimitRequestBody variable.




Well that was it. After my hosting company (MyDomain.com) repeatedly told me that it could not be them because they had set the upload_max_filesize = 10M (in the php.ini file).

Well in the end I got them to check Jorn's suggestion and yes, there it was:

"Unfortunately our Ops department does not want to make changes to the LimitRequestBody at this time as it would effect all of our users and could lead to abuse of services. They have stated that there are several other gallery programs available that do not make use of the LimitRequestBody but instead rely on the upload_max_filesize. Sorry we could not be of more service. Thank you."

Is there any way to work around this??

Any help would be appreciated.

No way to fix this to my knowledge. Get another host.

Any good suggestions for a host that is directed towards postnuke/php?

I have a few very small sites.
