oracle & issues with http uploading image over 2mb

[Jacksdad]

I am on oracle server now,was on a different before and did not have this issue before, I can not use http to upload images over 2Mb to my site.

This is a new install of gallery and I also tried a straight php code to upload an image over 2mb and it fails. I have check and php is running as Cgi. I would think it has something to do with upload_max_filesize in php.ini, but I was under the impression that php.ini is not in play if php is running as cgi.

ANYONE have the same issue and/or been able to fix this?

Thank you,
Scott

PHP.ini is still very much in play under CGI and my guess is that it is your upload_max_filesize setting that is causing problems here.

JPC's implementation of PHP-CGI reads php.ini from one of three places:
a) If you set an suPHP_ConfigPath directive in an .htaccess file somewhere in your site, the directory containing that file and all subdirectories below it (until you issue another suPHP_ConfigPath directive) will look for a php.ini file in the location specified in that directive

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/USERNAME/php5

Note that this is a path to the directory containing the php.ini file, not to the file itself. In this example the file that will be read is /home/USERNAME/php5/php.ini.

b) When no suPHP_ConfigPath directive is in use, PHP will look for a php.ini file in the directory of the current script and load that.

c) If there is no suPHP_ConfigPath directive or local php.ini file, PHP will resort to looking for the php.ini file in the configuration path that was set when PHP was compiled, usually /etc.

Only one php.ini file is read for any given script, so it is important that all options you may need be set in whichever php.ini file is used. When using a custom file, it is best to download the current version of the system-wide file from your cPanel to make changes and then upload that to your site so that you get a consistent configuration.

The .htaccess directives php_flag and php_value are not supported under PHP-CGI; I think you are confusing that with php.ini.

There's also an upload_max_post_size or some such... that needs to be at least upload_max_filesize

Search php.ini for "max"

BTW JAG's default php.ini is 99MB for both (IIRC)
