increase or disable chunk uploading?

[antoniofalconx11426]

My overall upload speed is reduced because my upload quickly hits 100MB the upload pauses/hangs for a little big and then starts the next 100MB and then again pauses/hangs.

can i increase or disable the upload method?

You can increase the size of chunking if your webserver/php supports larger files. Have a look at the top of:

\themes\flow\templates\partial\_uploader.inc.php

This value is the max chunk size permitted:

define('CHUNKED_UPLOAD_SIZE', 100000000); // 100MB

what other tweaks are needed to my php.ini? I change the CHUNKED_UPLOAD_SIZE and i get errors.

I've changed the upload and post size in my php.ini to 2G but still get errors.

 

[adam]

None from what I'm aware of. That constant controls the chunk size (unless your PHP settings are lower).

You can test by viewing the network traffic via FireBug while uploading.

tried firebug and got this:
NetworkError: 413 Request Entity Too Large - https://www.MYSITE.com/core/page/ajax/file_upload_handler.ajax.php?r=www.MYSITE.com&p=https&csaKey1=20b03fccade0ff564f2cb40774c2751fc85bd3024a7d03c7250db8ceefdadec7&csaKey2=9219011d9a6d97b37cc13de898ce588d1a8fca1564d3d71a71200799a0d2f1a4"

this is after setting upload max in the php to 2G, post max 2G, memory limit to -1. and i increased the chunk site to 120M. needless to say i did restart my nginx and php5-fpm

Did you see the following page, assuming you're on Nginx:

[antoniofalconx11426]

I dont know what else to do. I looked into that and put 2G in http, server and location blocks and still get a 413 error

what could i be missing?

 

[adam]

Some thoughts...

Did you do it on all servers? Inc file servers? The same with the php.ini changes. Restarting php-fpm & nginx after each.

Ensure you've tried all these which are relevant:

What is the exact value you've set for CHUNKED_UPLOAD_SIZE? Does it work if you set lower? (I assume yes, but just checking nothing else is going on)

my setup only has 1 server.

i didn't consider cloudflare could be an issue. forgot i was even using it i pay so little attention to it.

i'll remove it and i'll report back.

 

[antoniofalconx11426]

damn it, it was cloudflare. things are working fine now. Oddly enough my site seems much quicker and snappier for some reason.

 

[adam]

Thanks for reporting back, it'll save someone else the hassle in future. Have you left CloudFlare disabled? Or just reduced the chunking size back down?

 

[antoniofalconx11426]

I left cloudflare disabled and kepted the chunk size high. the average upload is much higher now. I was seeing 1.8MB up now it's hitting my max of 3.4MB.

when i reduced the chunk size after disabling cloudflare i didn't get that pause/hang but my average upload speed was still slower. I increased it to 1GB chunk and i can hit my max upload.
