Unable to upload png files and large jpegs in newsfeed[Solved] | Forum

Hello,

I have a strange problem. If I upload a jpeg file over 500kb or any png file in the newsfeed of my site, it loads forever. No error is logged in firebug or httpd error_log. File permissions are already checked, they are set correctly. Dev mode is enabled but also does not show any error.
If I check the directory on the server, it contains the file but without any content (file size 0kb).

I assume an error with my htaccess file but I have no idea how it works and how to find an error. I did not change anything.
Can anyone please help me, I want to publish the site this year!

Yes, there's the issue with uploading png images in 1.7.2 version
Here's a temporary fix : http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/29543

As to the jpeg images, can you please provide the screenshot of this page: www.yoursite.com/admin/settings/user-input

Thanks, that fixed the png problem. And the jpeg problem was caused by too long filenames. The names were longer than 255 byte so the server could not save them correctly.

You can close this thread.
