Subject: audio file not showing up
When adding an audio file resource (tried mp3 and wma files - both 10.9M). When I use the browse button, I select the file and hit the save icon. The progress bar on the browser window goes all the way through, the screen refreshes, but the file does not appear on the list. No errors or anything.

After seeing other threads here, I tried increasing the max file size limit but that didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions??

Art,
If you have a smaller MP3 file that you could try as a test upload, that might be helpful. If the smaller file does work correctly, then thats a pretty good indication that it is in fact the file size that is causing the problem.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff,
I reduced the file size to 5.3M and it doesn't sound the greatest but it worked! That's great but is there any way to allow the larger uploads. I thought that I had made the changes outlined in other posts but perhaps I missed something.

It's not necessarily going to be someone who is technically savvy enough to reduce the file size of the mp3 that will be uploading these files, so I would rather that any (reasonable) file size be accepted.

Thanks Again for your help,
Art

Art,
Thanks for trying that out. I wasn't thinking of this as a final solution, just as a temporary debugging step. I think this does show us that file size was the problem and not something else in TYPO3.

When you mention changing the max file size, are you referring to the setting within the All Configuration section of the Install Tool? There's also a PHP setting for the entire server that defines the maximum upload size so I my guess is this is the setting thats causing problems.

If you download the WEC Server Checker from http://webempoweredchurch.com/gettingstarted/installing/wec_server_checker/ it should show what that max upload is set to. Just post the results back here and we can figure out where to go from there.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I'm posting what returned for others that may experience the same problem, but I have increased the post_max_size to 50M and that fixed the problem!

You rock! Thanks for your very fast responses! Should I be doing anything about the file permissions listed below?

This is okay, but the upload filesize will be limited to 8M. Consider raising
post_max_size to at least 50M to take advantage of larger file uploads. This can be
set in the php.ini configuration file if you can access it, or ask your hosting company to do so.

Art,
Glad to hear that did the trick

As far as the file permissions go, it looks like something in your server configuration is keeping the test from running properly. It looks like everything is working fine in TYPO3 though, so I wouldn't worry about the test results.

Thanks,
jeff
