Uploading Video to forums returning 200 error

[AlanWeiss]

My client tells me he has uploaded videos to his forum many times but has recently been getting a 200 error when attempting to upload. 

I have checked the server logs and don't see any recent errors, nor do I see any errors ever with a code of 200. To my knowledge, a 200 means "OK, the request has succeeded" to paraphrase it, whereas here the message being returned is something along the lines of "Sorry, an unknown server error occurred when uploading this file."

What's going on here and what should I suggest to my client?

The error is actually a "-200" error which is from plupload which means that the server has encountered an error processing the upload. This can be anything from the upload has exceed the size limit for PHP, PHP memory limit, etc...

Oh, my mistake. I was just going off of what was being reported. 

Is this still considered a server error, I don't see anything related in the logs but I will try increasing PHP memory limit and see if that makes a difference.

 

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, this would only be caused by a processing error on the server.
