Uploadify refuses to upload WMV, FLV and MP4 files

The uploadify plugin for JQuery seems very good and works for most file types. However, it allows me to upload all file types apart from the ones I need.

Uploads of any other type work.

  • I have already tried changing the fileExt parameter and also tried removing it altogether.
  • I have testing in Google Chrome, IE7 and Firefox and none work for these file types.
  • I have a ton of local projects already and uploading is not an issue on any other project, I even use the same example files (This is the first time I have used Uploadify)

Is there a known reason for this behaviour?

EDIT: Have found the issue. I had forgotten to add my usual .htaccess file to the example project which amends PHP to allow large file sizes. I will hang my head in shame for the rest of the day.

Solution

  • I am ashamed to admit that I did not follow the list of dumb things to check.

    The issue was actually because my php upload setting was set too low.

    I have now added this to my php ini:

    upload_max_filesize = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M

    I use a .htaccess file on all my projects but obviously forgot to add it when setting up this uploadify example.
