I realise there are a ton of questions on this already but i've followed all of them and can't find any information on how to further debug this not working.
I can upload a file of 490 MB absolutely fine. I cannot upload a file of 562.8 MB.
I'm running php 7.0.11 with fpm, nginx 1.11.3, ubuntu 16 and using Laravel 5.1
My php ini settings are:
upload_max_filesize 1GB
post_max_size 1GB
memory_limit 1GB (this shouldn't actually be needed but i've tried it anyway)
My nginx settings:
client_max_body_size 1G
I haven't found any reference to any other variables that need to be changed or that may interfere.
When I upload $_FILES looks like:
["file"]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=> string(36) "CSBgGvDIAaZtbC4lmliLevHf0bAnWiKM.rar"
["type"]=> string(0) ""
["tmp_name"]=> string(0) ""
["error"]=> int(1)
["size"]=> int(0)
}
There is nothing in my nginx or php error logs.
$_SERVER['content_length'] is 652844444 which is the correct length of the file.
The 'error' is listed as 1. I don't know if this is 1 as in true, or 1 as in the relevant error message. The php docs list the error message for 1 in the docs as:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
But both of:
echo phpinfo();
echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
Show 1GB so the file shouldn't exceed it, because it's 562.8 MB.
With no further error messages and having followed every instruction and guide I can find on Google i'm at a complete loss as to what it could be.
I am also using Cloudflare but it is turned off for this sub domain and the limits on Cloudflare are 100MB not 500MB so I don't think it's anything to do with that.
Is there any way to further debug this? I'm at a complete loss at this point.
So I solved this. Really really annoyingly. The problem was that I typed 1GB instead of 1G in php.ini. No error messages were given and it wasn't clear at all that it wasn't using 1 Gigabyte. But php.ini won't recognise things like 1KB, 1MB or 1GB you have to use without the B.
Lesson learned, alot of time wasted.
