500 Internal Server Error when uploading large files to MediaWiki

configurationfilesmediawikitimeoutupload

When I upload a large (>245 Mb) file to my MediaWiki wiki (using Upload file, same as for images), I see:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal
error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

This is a .avi file. I have set this as a permissible file type in LocalSettings.php.

How can I solve this? Is there a time out for uploading files (though this takes less than 10 seconds)?

Increasing the memory to 1024M did not work:

ini_set( 'memory_limit', '1024M' );

Best Answer

check upload_max_filesize in /etc/php.ini
