Uploads Timing out.

[JerkOMatic]

I just programmed a new custom PHP CMS for BrigettLee.com and it works fine on my computer. It also works fine on a friends machine and my other machines here at my office.

Unfortunately, It doesn't work for Bridgett, which sucks because it's the only reason it was built in the first place.

There's a simple time-out error that I can't figure out.

I know it's not a PHP.INI setting on the server because it works fine on most machines. I tried messing with her router settings as well and it doesn't seem to fix the problem. I also disabled any firewalls on her machine.

I'm stumped. anyone else have ever had this problem?

Is she on a Mac?
Is she, fer sher, trying to upload a file that is smaller than the max size, as established in both php.ini and on the upload form?

I ask these two specific questions because (a) some Macs have their 'MTU' (maximum transmission unit) set too high which increases the request size above the max limit set in your server's configuration, particularly when uploading even a small file, and (b) if the true file size is even a couple of bytes larger than the max size set in your server's config or in php.ini (and you have error_reporting turned on) then you'll see 'maximum request size' errors in your server's transfer log and they will experience a time out on the client end.

You can test for these by radically increasing the max file size setting in php.ini. If it fixes the issue for her, then at least one of the above two situations exist.

She's on a PC with windows XP. It's a brand new machine that I set up, so there shouldn't be any problem.

I know it's not a FILE size issue either only because I am able to upload larger files with my machine just fine. I already set the php.ini to high numbers.

Thanks for the advice though.

What kind of server are you running?
Are you running anything like mod_security on it?
