Causes Of Failed Large Uploads Via Form

May 16, 2008

I just moved to a new, dedicated server this week. My vbulletin forum users typically upload mp3 files under 10MB. At the moment, I can't seem to get anything above 6MB to work.

In vBulletin land, they recommend changing these in php.ini:
upload_max_filesize - Largest size of a file to accept.
post_max_size - Must be larger than upload_max_filesize.
memory_limit - Should be larger than post_max_size.
max_execution_time
max_input_time

I've cranked all of those up and restarted Apache.

I'm still having the same problems. The little window with the form turns white after what appears maybe 5 minutes, but I haven't timed it.

They also mentioned changing the LimitRequestBody in Apache. I appear to be screwing that part up so I created a thread in the Apache forum specificallya about that.
[url]

So I wanted to ask if there were any other possibilities that you guys could think of that would inhibit the file size up uploads via a form.

I'm running httpd-2.2.8 and php-5.2.6. It needs to be said that this forum is config is mostly right out of the box. $_SESSION wouldn't work in php until I changed the directory for it yesterday. So there may be a very basic config setting that I missed.

---------

I decided to check my error logs.

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9852343 bytes)

I'm confused. I have an allowed memory of 30MB (give or take). So why does a 10MB file "exhaust" it?

PHP Session/timeout Settings For Large Video Uploads

Mar 23, 2008

I'm currently a video sharing site and I'm aiming for large videos (around 500MB - 1GB), now I have to take into account an average user should only be able to do 30k-50k per sec.

So the session_timeout and upload_max need to be adjusted. Anybody with experience with large upload sites ?

Secure Uploads

Jun 8, 2009

My requirements are 500MB, 5GB bandwidth, rails and postgres, $5-6 per month. It looks like there are many providers out there that are offer that.

However the only uploading method shared hosters seem to offer - or at least the only method they advertise - is FTP. Coming from a university and sysadmin background, I thought that anything that sends passwords over the wire unencrypted had died long ago (except HTML forms and legacy systems).

Are there any shared hosting services that allow a more secure upload method (e.g. scp, rsync-over-ssh, even webdav-over-ssl)?

SERVAGE FTP Uploads

Jul 9, 2008

company for over a month or 2
contacting them (support tickets) is as useless as not!..
their reply is always simply: we checked and nothing at our side! (asking for a clarification simply gets u nothing!)

problem is simply ONLY with ftp uploads!
my line upstream is 256Kbps (32 KB/sec) and down 1Mbps and i was always capable of pushing up to 2.2 GB/day ((i monitor my traffic all the time))
but just recently some weird things started appearing...

before uploads would never go under 27-26 KBs on my FTP client
now it's so normal finding it dropping to 15,10,4,2, 0!
ya a whole 0!
and that's not just for a second or two
it can stay like that for maybe aminute then go up back again!
And upon watching my traffic statistics closely, i found myself pushing at the most 1.6 GB only a day!
another funny thing is that files used to appear AND PARTIALLY in the root directory instead of the desired directory!
so WHAT IS UP!

Hostgator & MySQL Uploads

I am about to purchase a reseller (Diamond) or maybe just a Hosting (Swamp) but I cant seem to find anywhere details on their MySQL policies.

I have a forum and the database if growing in size daily and im concerned about the database upload limit that may be applied. I have a dedicated server at the moment and im able to request that be changed via php.ini but where would I stand on this if I were to move to shared hosting?

Can't Seem To Get File Uploads To Work

Sep 6, 2008

We are going to host our own website. I built up a windows 2003 server. Installed IIS6. I am working on file upload to our website. I can get files to upload to c:Temp but not to c:Inetpubwwwrootourwebsiteupload.

I even set up the upload directory for full sharing with write permissions. Still no help.

I went into windows explorer and right clicked on the upload dir and shared it and set the permissions for read and write. That should take care of NTFS permissions. But no matter what I do when I click on the upload directory and go to properties is shows 'read only'. Can't seem to get that turned off. Until I do I don't believe I can upload a file to the upload directory.

I went into iis6 mgr and and set the upload directory for full access - read and write. That should take care of iis security.

I went to default website (there is only one) and allowed anon login. Even told it use the Administrator account for login with all read and write permissions.

Here is my upload code: ....

Phpsuexec, Forum Uploads On IPB Not Working

Aug 12, 2007

We have a server that we just changed over to PHPSUEXEC. On this server, we have a large IPB (Invision Power Board) forum that we have not been able to get uploads in the forum back working again. Users are getting the message that they don't have permission, and to contact an administrator.

I have looked on IPB's forum for PHPSUEXEC related issues, but can't find a solution. Of couse, before phpsuexec the "upload" folder had 777 file permissions, but under phpsuexec this must be 755. It isn't working though.

Anyone had experience with this with IPB and know how to fix it?

Pure-ftpd Crashing During File Uploads

Jan 12, 2008

I've been running pure-ftpd for around 4 months now without any problems, until around 24-48 hours ago file upload has been going a bit loopy.

When you upload a file the speed bounces considerably, and at times pauses on 0kbps until it then dies and fails the upload. 9/10 uploads I have tried have failed.

[R] Opening data connection IP: 74.86.20.181 PORT: 35283
[R] LIST -al
[R] 150 Accepted data connection
[R] 226-Options: -a -l
[R] 226 6 matches total
[R] List Complete: 374 bytes in 0.64 seconds (0.6 KB/s)
Transfer queue completed
1 File failed to transfer
[R] Connection lost: chacha
We have restarted pure-ftpd a number of times, but have had no luck.

Please could you try and upload a file (at least 10mb and please nothing dodgey) to this FTP account:

address: chacha.99k.org
user: chacha@99k.org
pass: password

And output the result.

Does anyone here have experience with pure-ftpd and would possibly consider giving my system a "once over"?

I can't check every file that people might upload.

Site Hacked Via Php Script Placed In WordPress Uploads Directory

Apr 7, 2007

First of all, I discoverd this forum during my quest to unravel the mysteries of how my site was hacked. I hope this is an appropriate forum to discuss the issues even though I am not a web hosting provider, but merely a customer of a web hosting company, hostrocket.com

I have an installation of WordPress 2.1 WordPress creates a couple world writable directories such as Uploads and Cache which are owned by nobody. Apparently (according to the tech support at hostrocket.com) someone was able to insert and exectue a php script in my world writable Uploads directory. Over 40MB of scripts, executables and files were uploaded. As best I can tell, my space was being used as some sort of link farm or perhaps acting as a server in my webspace. I do not have much knowledge about these things and consequently can't talk very inetlligently about them. But I am trying to grasp what little I am able to absorb about how this could have happened, what I can do to mitigate it from reocurring in the future.

Some of the stuff that was in the directory is as follows...

2421
bindz
h4ckerz
mass.pl p
trace-kmod
2421.1
brk
help.php
mybindshell
ptrace24
99.php
coredump
idf.php
netcat
pwned
CMD.php
dc.pl
index.html

TMT.htm
elfdump
kmod2
online.tar.gz
raptor
TTdummyfile
gcc
krad3
prctl2
uselib24
bind.pl g
cc.1
list.txt
ptrace

The "online" directory contained over 40MB of directories such as...

abortion diethylpropion

As you can see, I was had in a BIG way.

So the first thing my webhost had me do was to change ownership of the directories owned by nobody to me. Then I was able to change permissions from 777 to 755. However in so doing, I am no longer able to use the Dashboard of WordPress to upload images anymore, unless I temporarily change permissions back to 777.

The other thing the tech support guy did is to create an .htaccess file with,
php_flag engine off
I guess this basically renders php scripts impotent from running.

So without flaming me, can you help me understand how someone in a shared server environment is able to put a php script into one of my directories?

What amazed me was this particular script, "99.php" actually when viewed in a browser window titled phpshell was called "c99adult v. 1.0 pre-release build #16". It basically enabled whoever had access to the URL, to view my webspace, and do all sorts of nasty things. Talk about a wake-up call!

Obviously this enabled the hacker to view my config.php file and ascertain my database password and everything else. Whether he did, or whether there is a logfile of that info that could enable him to hack the database at some time in the future is unknown to me but it's really freaking me out.

.htaccess And A Form Of URL Masking?

Dec 14, 2007

I have web hosting and domain, lets call it www.example.co.uk, but the main body of the site is on another hosting server (no domain, just set as a dedicated IP address). I'm just wondering if it is possible using .htaccess (or otherwise) to mask the website so the address bar shows www.example.co.uk - But also shows the current directory/file on the dedicated IP server?

So for example, being able to goto http://www.example.co.uk/shop and it show the page 111.222.333.444/shop?

I know the most logical option would be to move over the domain to the new server, but at this current time that is not an option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not so great when it comes to .htaccess.

Server Blocking Form Elements With Www., .com

Jul 10, 2007

I have a wierd problem on my server. I'm updating an order with my php shopping cart script and notice some of the orders hang on updating. After research I discovered the orders that wont update are orders that have domain names in the textarea field. More specifically. www.yourdomain.com will just hang if I try to update them.

After further research I discovered the if I put an backslash it'll update no problem. IE: www.yourdomain.com

This only happens with domain names inside a textarea. I'm not sure if it's a php config setting, apache setting, my firewall, mod_evasive, mod_security. I've looked at all of them and can't seem to find what is blocking the script from updating just because of www.domainname.com in a textarea.

Send Mail From Web Form Using 3rd Party SMTP

Apr 1, 2008

I have a CDONTS script which has been sending mail from a client's website form to their address. However, the script has suddenly stopped working. It doesn't error, they just don't receive the mail. I've tried CCing myself in the script and the mail is not getting through. The script itself is tried and tested and syntaxially correct.

I think the problem is because they're using their own exchange server, not the web hosts' mail server. Therefore I would expect that mail sent from the web script wouldn't go through because there is no local mail server to process it.

The problem is that the script hasn't changed, the host say their system hasn't changed, and the client's IT team say their exchange settings haven't changed!

I could set up a CDOSYS script to use their Exchange server to deal with the email, but their IT support won't allow relaying, so I don't think this is possible.

Is connecting to their Exchange box the only option, or should the website host still be able to process the web-script-generated mail despite not being their mail provider? I'm getting a lot of grief here, but it can't be the script that has suddenly broken because nobody has touched it!
