Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

I have the JFU Professional Edition and trying to up the max file size. I'm presently trying to go the route as explained in the 'how to' number 14 (Where to find php.ini and how to use it), but I'm not exactly sure if or how to make the php.ini file. What I've done is just copied the 'simple example for a custom php.ini' in to DreamWeaver saved as php and with the extension .ini
Do I have to set the 'simple example for a custom php.ini' in a particular way?

I've placed the php.ini files I've created the way explained above in both the: <joomla root>/administrator and administrator/components/com_jfuploader/tfu/

No success.

The file should be a simple text file with the name php.ini.

If this does not work please ask you hoster how to increase server limits.
This can be different on different systems.
Using php.ini or .htaccess are only the most commons ones.

Some hosters (espacially free hosters) do not allow to change this settings at all.

If you already use JFU 2.11 please download it again - I fixed a small bug there.

Cool, it sounds like I did it correct then. And the two folders I mentioned I put them in are correct? How would I add that 'simple example for a custom php.ini' to the .htaccess (where would I put the info. in the file, anywhere)?

Yep, already installed 2.11.

P.s. thanks for the super quick reply.

They are fine.

First you should talk to you hoster what is the right way.

- Michael

I got it straighten out. With my host provider I could create a custom php.ini in the root (which I tried early). But I noticed with there info on this subject that they said for php5 the file had to be php5.ini which worked like a charm.

So anyone running php5 on their server having problems with, change the file in the root to php5.ini and see if that helps.

Strange, but now with JFU 2.11, all I'm getting in the artcle that should be showing the flash upload is the code: i.e {joomla_flash_uploader type=0 id=2}

I have the individual plugin enabled.

Please check the documentation.

It shoulde be

{jfuploader type=0 id=2}

since 2.11 because I had to rename JFU.

PS: Have you seen the new plugin page?

- Michael

Gotcha, thanks. I figured that changed so I tried {jfu type...} I'll check next time.

I've got everything up and running with the php.ini settings and such, but I'm getting a 'Retry failed. Please check your timeouts.' But in my log it's nothing special. From my log:

you get this for every file?

How is you error level set? Because normally move_uploaded_file does give a message what is the problem. Maybe this is written to the server log. You have to check there then.

- Michael

Not for every file, I just tried a 46mb file and it got all the way to the end but errored out:
Error : http - 500

Error level set? Where is that? Is that like the 'Enable upload debug'?

this is a server error - check the server error log file. It should givve you more details.

- Michael

I'll check that, but like I mentioned I don't get that for the large upload file issue. I'll check the server log. What about the Error level set? Where is that?

I think there a different timeout maybe kills you .

Which server do you use
http://www.tinywebgallery.com/en/tfu/web_faq.php#4
has a few server dependant settings as well!.

- Michael

Ok, major bummer. I'm still getting the time out error and because this site is hosted on a shared plan the hoster cannot change the time out restriction on the server. If we go to a more dedicated one they can. But I want to try this site with a different host provider I have to see if it'll work there. If so I'll just swap the site there. How can I temporarily change the jfu lic to a domain I already have, just to test it with this host provider?
