-200 Error when uploading files

[Stephen Bruce]

Some members are getting a -200 error when uploading files. I experienced it myself too when I was away from home with slower internet for a few days. I'm guessing its timing out because its taking too long to upload? Any ideas how I can fix this please

Stephen, you will find that this is a CONSTANT battle with downloads app. The error is kind of generic catch all too. I never have been able to eliminate this completely. About once a week someone complains about it.

However, try this.

Start by setting your php.ini settings as follows.

max_execution_time  3000

max_input_time  -1

memory_limit  1024M

post_max_size  2048M

upload_max_filesize  10M

 

If you're uploading larger files than 10M don't worry because IPB will automatically chunk it out so you're be fine.

Some of those settings are pretty crazy tbh and would make DOS attacks on your site trivial. Max_execution_time 3000 is so so high as well as memory_limit and input_time.

Thanks! Where do I find these settings so I can change them?

And what do you recommend? Note: My folks are uploading 1.5GB files.

I just started getting this error on Saturday the 6th. At least I’m not alone. I’ve looked at all the setting and can’t figure it out.  

Just noticed it says max total size and max file size below, I don’t have that on my site.

I’ve run into this if the file was open when trying to upload. Make sure the file is closed on the source OS before attempting to upload.

You should submit a ticket if you get a "-200" error. Usually this means the upload failed for some reason (i.e. timeout on the server) however the software is designed to supply a better message.
