"Upload progress Not enabled Your server is capable of displaying file upload progress, but does not have the required libraries. It is recommended to install the PECL uploadprogress library (prefered) or to install APC."

Umm, Question: Why am I getting this message on my status report when I haven't tried to install any upload progress module? Is it included in some module(s) is it the FileField module? I can't seem to find it in any documentation. Perhaps I didn't look in the right place? How can I install the PECL libraries on a shared host? I have uploaded the libraries in my sites/all/modules directory, but it continues to go unrecognized. Do I have to add something to my settings.php or something like that?

Cheers,

DaFreak

Yes it's FileField module that is displaying this message. It's not an error, just a notification that it's *possible* to make FileField use an upload progress bar. However, since you're on a shared host, it's unlikely that you'll be able to install this library, since it likely will require root access on your server. See #441046: Upload Progress Bar Documentation for the issue on creating better documentation.
