php.ini how to set post max size?

[teamcrw]

Hi,

did anyone manage to set post max size and/or upload max size etc. in the php.ini?

I did this via the file browser in Cloudron like this:

; Add custom PHP configuration in this file
; Settings here are merged with the package's built-in php.ini
post_max_size = 100000M
upload_max_size = 100000M
upload_max_filesize = 100000M

But i still get the upload error "php post max size limit is too small".

I'm probably editing the wrong php.ini ? I'm editing the one that i see in the file browser in cloudron in the lychee settings /lychee/php.ini

Thanks in advance i will appreciate any help

@teamcrw there was a bug in the package. I have pushed an update now. Can you update and check?

@girish

updated, restartet the app, set php.ini as in my previous comment, uploaded a 1GB .mp4 file and got an "unknown error from server".

Here's the log:

2021-10-21 10:32:54 -- notice -- App\Metadata\Extractor::extract -- 126 -- Falling back to native adapter.

@teamcrw You should also increase script execution time if you are upload large files like that.

@murgero

i changed max_execution_time = 200 to max_execution_time = 200000, this didn't help.

I also changed memory_limit = 256M to memory_limit = 2048M (i have enough RAM left on the server to do this). This didn't help either.

@teamcrw Did you change the app's resources as well (will need to be 4GB since cloudron splits RAM 50/50 with swap)

[teamcrw]

@murgero

I already had the app ressources set to 2GB, i have now set it to 4GB, didn't change anything.

@teamcrw Do you think you can try with a new install? Maybe there is some update issue, I can check after you can verify the below.

This is what I did

• Installed a new package
• Setup user and checked the Diag view.

• Then, I go to File Manager and edit the /app/data/php.ini like below:

; Add custom PHP configuration in this file
; Settings here are merged with the package's built-in php.ini


post_max_size = 100000M
upload_max_size = 100000M
upload_max_filesize = 100000M

• Restart the app

• Check the diag view again:

First, thank you for your time and for helping me out.

So, i did a fresh install of lychee, and did exactly the same as you.
In Diag View it shows the same as yours, see:

But i still get this error:

UPDATE: I also tried different browsers. Same error.

@teamcrw I think the issue is not related the php settings. When the settings are low, it says so in the UI like below:

I am wondering if the issue is max_execution_time per https://lycheeorg.github.io/docs/faq.html#i-cant-upload-large-photos . The default value is set to 200, so that's under 3 minutes (can set it to 0 also to disable). Can you set it to much larger value and try? How long does your upload of 1GB take?

You can also set APP_DEBUG=true in the env file and then restart the app. Check for errors in the browser and also Show Logs in the lychee UI after upload fails.
