Users second audio upload fails

Please make sure your php.ini settings, particularly the max upload limit and php timeout is set high enough. If you are trying to upload a file larger than your limit or your php execution time runs out this sort of error will occur. I remember this happening to me, and I fixed it by upping my php.ini settings.

Well, I think the default is usually 2M which stands for 2 megabytes. Considering it is audio, it would probably make sense to up that to a maximum of 10M or so, but it depends how big the files are that people are uploading. For reference, 1 megabyte of an MP3 is roughly equivalent to 1 minute of audio. So depending on what people are uploading, you can change these variables. Also the timeout setting can be upped to maybe 5 minutes (or 300 seconds) . If you were to change your php.ini variables they'd look like:

max_execution_time = 300;
max_input_time = 300;
memory_limit = 10M;
upload_max_filesize = 10M;
post_max_size = 10M

Hi-

I'm having the same problem. Can you say more about how to edit my php.ini file? More to the point, where can I find php.ini file? I'm new to drupal, and I'm feeling my way around the system.

Thanks for your help.

You've got to be an admin on your webserver to edit the php.ini file. You might be better off adding these settings to your sites/*/settings.php file as calls to ini_set(). If you open up the settings file you'll see some examples at the bottom. i'd use zirafa's settings as a starting point.

I would ask your webhosting company how and if you can access your php.ini file to change the settings. Some companies, like site5.com, let you upload your own php.ini file in the root directory, which will override the system settings.
