giventoflyfish Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I get this error when uploading some pictures. Can't figure out what is causing it. There was a problem processing the uploaded file. -200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentT Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 So do I. As best as I can figure it out, the server is timing out as it tries to process the huge file and resize it as specified in the ACP. My users on Apple devices see it most often because they can't change the cameras on their iPads or iPhones to a lower resolution and create smaller files. It the user is on a Droid, they can drop the resolution to a lower setting and their problems disappear. It doesn't happen every time because all pics are not the same size, and the other server processes going on simultaneously is also a factor.

giventoflyfish Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Exactly what I see. Mostly happens on iPhones. I have 1 file on my laptop that I can use for testing. I'll submit a ticket and see what support says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 There are previous discussions about this. Its usually caused by files that hit the server limits because they are too large to be processed. Try to reduce the pixel size (not file size) of the test image. You will likely see that the image starts to work once its below a certain pixel size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires using a different app to resize the photo before uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sure. I only suggested the size reduction to nail down the problem. The solution is to raise the server limits or to change the host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum image dimensions to save is set to unlimited and I have Maximum image dimensions to display set to 1000 x 750 Wouldn't this allow for unlimited size but resize upon upload? Maybe I'm missing something here? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's usually no need to store something more than 1920 pixels wide -- unless yours is a photography site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 You shouldn't set unlimited on size to save, this is where very large images take lots of memory to process, it will also take a ton of un-needed disk space to store large images. Phone makers think bigger is better when it comes to resolution, that isn't really true, however a setting of 1200x1200 or even 1600x1600 will save a lot of space. I would also recommend you set your image processing to imagick instead of GD which can help this issue also. If none of that works for you or you cannot use Imagick, increase your php memory to 256MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufo2k Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I've had this issue in the demo cloud version. IS Imagick installed on the cloud version and will it allow larger images if I switch to cloud or is php upload size restricted? Thank in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
