Re: able to upload 28 meg file, yet php.ini limits posts to 10 megs. What is up with that?

And what, if anything, is LimitRequestBody directive

This returns nothing:

root@ldc310:~# cd /etc/apache2/
root@ldc310:/etc/apache2# grep -R LimitRequestBody *

So I assume it is not set.

And if it's not set, it takes the default value, zero (meaning, no
limit).

And while we're checking for possibilities, are you editing
the same php.ini PHP is using?
I assume, but how could I be sure?

Run phpinfo() FROM THE BROWSER, not from command line. Look for
"Configuration File (php.ini) Path" in the output. The command-line
interpreter, the server module, and the CGI/FastCGI executable can
each have a different php.ini...

Since it is PHP version 5, I assume this is the right path for
editing:

root@ldc310:/# nano /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

I don't think so; note the "cli" in the path. Looks like you're
editing the php.ini that's used by the command-line interpreter,
not the one used by the Apache module.

Thanks for catching that. Seems you were right.

If anyone has time and wants to do me a big favor, go here:

http://www.cyberbitten.com/my_private_page.php

login with:

user: test
password: test

then go here and try to upload a file that is bigger than 10 megs:

I appreciate anyone who can give this a test.

I've started an upload of a 20MB .exe file(Nessus-3.2.1.exe).

As I said in another post, perhaps you want to do a few checks to save
your bandwidth. Check that the file type is correct. Check the size
*before* you start the upload.

I'll report back if the upload crashes.
