I have a problem with uploading images larger than 200k and I do not understand why.

Here is my setup:

*fresh install of expression engine 2.5.3
*removed index.php as my homepage and updated the .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
         RewriteEngine On
         # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
         RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
         RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
 </IfModule>

*had GD installed :
gd

GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

*created a directory for images /uploads/slider_images
*gave it 777 permission
* “Image Resizing Protocol” is set for GD 2 in the Image Resizing Preferences
* in the file upload preferences I have the entries for the location:
/home/********/public_html/uploads/slider_images/
and
http://domainname/uploads/slider_images/
* the file type in the preferences is images only.

PHP settings are:

post_max_size 8M 8M
memory_limit 32M 32M
upload_max_filesize 2M 2M

I have a dedicated server with WHM/Cpanel with Apache/2.2.23 and php 5.3.17.

Yet when I upload an image over about 200k, the homepage appears in the upload window as you can see in the attached screenshot.

How can I make this work?

Hey there adlitinc,

This is really interesting. I imagine some error is being hit and you are getting a 404, which takes you to the homepage by default if you have not yet setup a 404 page.

I would like to take a look at this one.

Please be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab.

Cheers!

Just to update the thread. This issue was related to PHP memory limit.

Upping PHP’s allowed memory got everything running smoothly.

Cheers!

Yes, That did the trick.

Thanks,

Hey all,

Closing off the thread. Glad that Dan was able to help you get to the bottom of the issue Jasper.
