Is there a way to batch add photos? | Forum
Team
Don't increase them so there really high as you could potentially slow your site down depending on how many users are uploading photos at the same time etc. You have to play around until you find a balance between user activity and server resources.
Maybe if its a one time thing your doing you can increase the execution time and then decrease it once your done. (We do this when we pump out 50k+ emails using mass mail)
Here is a snippet of our php.ini file which might help.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
max_execution_time = 60 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 256M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)
Michael, your suggestion may help but my hosting provider doesn't give me access to the php.ini.
Is it possible to create a php.ini file within the root directory of my oxwall site?
You need to create a php.ini file in the level before the root, in my opinion the root folder is the folder where you place your index file, you need to place this before that level, if that makes sense.
Then you need to edit your htaccess file with this code, changing sitename to your sitename
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/sitename
<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

Ross, I'm using Oxwall version 1.7.1 (build 8274)
The photo plugin was included in the install. I don't know what version it is.
Michael, I wanted to thank you for your suggestion and let you know that it didn't work for me.
I found that the timeout occurs at exactly 60 seconds regardless of what I did to the php.ini.
I did find that others are having similar problems. http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/22808
It seems like they were attempting to adjust the php.ini file without success as well.

You wrote:
php besides "post_max_size" settings (which we used) for defining max upload size, has "upload_max_filesize"setting. Now we use them both and this fixed the timeout error,
Ross, thanks for your continued help, I had read that part but I didn't understand.
The file sizes I am getting a timeout error on are only 6000 - 7000 Kb
Do you have a recommended setting for post_max_size and upload_max_filesize?

As to the values, if you allow your users to upload such big photos, then your need to have these values as big as possible, therefore bigger than 7Mb
