Upload pictures bigger than ~3MB?

Posted by timebandit at 21:05 on 23rd Aug 2009
Hi

Downloaded and installed this great application/scipts.
I have come into some problems. My pictutues are in high resolution and file size.
File size is aprox 3MB and resolution is as high as 2592 x 1944. These files can't be uploaded throu Shutter.
If I change the resolution of the pictures and size comes around 2MB it works as it should.

Do you have any solution for my problems?
I can mail you a sample of my pictures if you need...

The problem seems to be on files bigger than 2MB and not 3MB.

Found a solution but I don't know if it's the right way to go. In admin.php there are defualt numbers at 2*1024*1024.
I changed it to 6*maxreshight*maxreswidth and it works for now.

That didn't to the trick all around :(

I have pictures up to 6MB and I can't get these to be uploaded with changing the admin.php.

Tried to change the values in php.ini too but I can't make this to work with imagefiles over 5MB.

Any solution?

Can't edit a post.... Found the solution... There is a .htaccess file that I missed in the Shutter directory...

Sorry for the lack of assistance.

There is indeed a 2mb limit on v0.1.2 that is listed in both .htaccess and admin.php files.

I will increase this to 5mb (as was my intial plan, not sure where I got 2mb from!) for the next release.

I edited both the .htaccess and the admin.php files and the script allows uploading of larger files. The only trouble is that once upload is completed, no picture appears. I think this is due to the php.ini max_execution_time or max_input_time variables being set too low (which I unfortunately cannot change). I've seen "chunked" download routines which get around server php time limits by handling downloads as many small pieces - I'm guessing this upload problem could be fixed a similar way (although coding such a thing would be beyond me right now).

I got it working - I got my web server admin to increase some values in my php.ini. This didn't solve the problem so I finally figured out that there are two places in the admin.php which limit filesize. Once that was changed, no problems with 5 meg photos.
