Media Uploads - slow
03 April 2009, 8:58
Mahara 1.1.2
Over 100MBs switched LAN, Mahara on W2003 server.
Uploading MP3 and MPEG4 takes forever. I have not succeeded in uploading a media file to Home of more than 10MB, I get the 'forever spin'. When this happens I seem to be in a no man's land of not being able to do anything in case it upsets the upload...

Hi, if it's spinning forever this often means that the script either had a fatal error, or you tried to upload a file that was too big, and PHP rejected it.
By default, Mahara's .htaccess ships with settings that up the max allowed upload size to 50M. Do you know if your .htaccess is working, and what size were the files you were trying?
Also, it might be worth checking the error logs while trying to upload a file, to see if there are any messages. The apache error log for the Mahara vhost would be the first one you should look at.
