Stephen Bruce Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ77 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 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.

Max_execution_time 3000 is so so high as well as memory_limit and input_time. Edited April 4, 2019 by sudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Where do I find these settings so I can change them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 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. SJ77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 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.
