Larger than 2MB file uploads fails on forge

Hi Prez

Thanks, but unfortunately that hasn't worked.

You can change the vars with commands if you want;

// php 5

// memory limit (I suggest 256M but use 128M if you have a small server)
sudo sed -i "s/\memory_limit = .*/memory_limit = 128M/" /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

// post_max_size needs to be bigger than upload_max_filesize since other POST data is counted in the amount.
sudo sed -i "s/\post_max_size = .*/post_max_size = 125M/" /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
// this is for file uploads
sudo sed -i "s/\upload_max_filesize = .*/upload_max_filesize = 100M/" /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

// php 7

// memory limit (I suggest 256M but use 128M if you have a small server)
sudo sed -i "s/\memory_limit = .*/memory_limit = 128M/" /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini

// post_max_size needs to be bigger than upload_max_filesize since other POST data is counted in the amount.
sudo sed -i "s/\post_max_size = .*/post_max_size = 125M/" /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
// this is for file uploads
sudo sed -i "s/\upload_max_filesize = .*/upload_max_filesize = 100M/" /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini

Sounds like you have a different issue though. Can you show some html form code?

Thanks bashy,

`

    <form id="fileUploadForm" action="/upload" class="dropzone">
              <div class="fallback">
                <input name="file" type="file" multiple />
              </div>
            </form>
        </div>

        </div>      
    </div>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/4.3.0/min/dropzone.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        Dropzone.options.fileUploadForm = 
        {
            paramName: "file",
            maxFileSize: 125,
            acceptedFiles: '.zip'
        };
    </script>
</body>

If you're uploading files, you need enctype="multipart/form-data"?

Thanks a lot for your help bashy.

It worked after adding the enctype.

Completely separate suggestion, I send up to 1MB chunks to the server using modern front-end, and if that doesn't work (through detecting availability) I simply notify the user that files > 1MB won't work. The benefits are that basically your UI looks a lot more responsive, and in tests we can upload more files with users client-side only sending partial data packets, assembling the file on the server.

I've heard some people are actually sending multiple chunks at once over separate requests, which would theoretically give a speed boost, but load your server.
