File upload... again

When I want to upload a file via the File (under 5 MB) class sometimes the file is not uploaded and it leaves the field blank.

Is there a bug with file transfer?

Is there a configuration I should use in apache, php has already been configured!

Thank you.

I had this...

I can be that you var/cache/storage directory is not present or the web server does not have access privilages to it.

Thank you hans but I forget to write that I've already changed :
post_max_filesize= 1Go
memory_limit=1Go
max_input_time=0 (unlimitited time)
max_execution_time=0 (unlimited time)
upload_max_filesize=1Go

Do you know a way to use a browser to use FTP protocole that works with PC and MAC

Hi,

Assumption: You cannot upload any files using eZPublish 3 admin interface.

I had something similar to this. For me the problem was that apache did not have sufficient rights to var/cache/storage location.

The solution is to give apache rights to var/cache/storage i.e. chown noone.noone var/cache/storage or something similar.

I hope this helps a little.

FYI

Apache also have a limit for the size of a request body.
The directive in question is named : LimitRequestBody

The directive setting did not have any positive effect on this problem for my site. I still get:
Request Entity Too Large
The requested resource
/admin/content/edit/3863/1/
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.
Apache/2.0.40 Server at xxx.xx.x.xx Port 9000

when trying to upload a file that is bigger than ca. 500 KB.
I also checked that apache has full control over all the directories in ezpublish/var.

If anybody has other suggestions PLEASE give me a tip...please... im dying here...

regards,
