Centos – php upload_max_filesize ignored – unable to upload 5gb file

apache-2.2centosPHPupload

I'm unable to upload files larger than roughly 2gb. The max upload/post values were previously set to 2500MB so I thought that was the problem.

First,

# php --version
PHP 5.3.3 (cli)

I set upload_max_filesize and post_max_size as follows

# vi /etc/php.ini
post_max_size = 5500M
upload_max_filesize = 5500M
[write/quit vi]

Next,

# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

I then confirmed the new configuration with a phpinfo() script:

post_max_size   5500M   5500M
upload_max_filesize 5500M   5500M

I go back to my script to upload another large data file (~4GB), and am again told that the uploaded file exceeds value of upload_max_filesize.

So, I am at a loss. I am able to upload 2gb and smaller files no problem. I've restarted Apache, and don't know where to go from here.

This PHP-Change log

http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.6.0

states that, until PHP 5.6.0, file uploads were limited to 2 GB.

Is there a Firewall/IPS in between? We had this exact issue when a certain part of a file popped a false positive on our IPS, causing all sorts of drops and hangs with website access.

It seems that php5_module is already loaded by yourself and loaded later by the default rhel6 configuration or the configuration on rhel6 is loading the module php5_module... which in itself doesn't matter except for the fact that the configuration you are entering is being overridden by the default rhel6 configuration.

Looking at step 11 from Dan's site, which has worked for me in the past whenever I forgot and needed a quick reminder:

# Make sure there's only **1** line for each of these 2 directives:

# Use for PHP 4.x:
#LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
#AddHandler php-script .php

# Use for PHP 5.x:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script .php 

# Add index.php to your DirectoryIndex line:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

AddType text/html .php

# PHP Syntax Coloring
# (optional but useful for reading PHP source for debugging):
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps
