[EP-tech] Re: 1. is there any file upload limit (Stefano Cecere)

[Bin Han]

Hello Stefano:

As far as I can tell (hand coded before but didn't go much further) there are two ways to limit the upload document size. One is editing the Apache conf file to set the max file size, afterwards, the user will get an apache error page once over the limit; the other option is touching the Document.pm module to set the maximum file size. Probably you can do something as follow to set the limit to 1M:

Document.pm :: sub upload
{
...
	my $size_limit = 1*1024*1024;
	if($filesize)
	{
		if($filesize > $size_limit)
		{
			return 0;
		}
	}
...
}

However it would be smart to put $size_limit in cfg.d, then you don't have to restart apache each time your change the limit. 

Good luck!

hi
a user has problem uploading a 20Gb file (yes i know it's quite big :)

i read in some old thread that ePrints should not have any limits it's just Apache/Perl that have (maybe a 2Gb limit)

anyway we could upload a 2.5Gb file without any problems

does anybody has any hint where to search about allowing such huge files upload?

we are on Ubuntu 64bit

thank you!

stefano
