When I upload a video ( flv, wmv, swf ) with Flashvideo it inevitably fails. After a long while given the size of the file, the uploading just stops. No error messages in the server log, no error messages in Drupal. It is not theme dependent, it happens in Garland as well. I have no problem uploading images or attachments, just videos with flashvideo and I do not know where to look for solutions.

Thanks

Hi Theo,
Have you adjusted your php.ini to allow for the large uploads / long processing time required by this module?

Explained well here:

I think I did, these are my settings:

# Your current Settings:

* post_max_size=500M
* upload_max_filesize=500M
* max_execution_time=3000
* max_input_time=6000

Yep, looks like your php.ini settings are more than sufficient.

How large are the videos you are uploading? You may be running up against the Apache TimeOut directive; I think that defaults to 300 seconds.

Can you try with a small video file to determine whether it is a timeout issue?

Does that Apache Time Out directive also apply to FTP? Because with FTP I am able to upload files of 1.5 Gig which take about two hours. I'll try with a smaller video/.

Thanks

I have tried to upload a file of 20 mb, after 5 minutes 20 seconds it stopped. Then tried a 4 mb file that was indeed uploaded. Maybe that Time Out directive. It remains strange nevertheless that Flashvideo recommends all sorts of settings for the PHP.ini and ignores this bottleneck.
