Hello Guys,

I have a problem: If i try to upload files with Internet Explorer (bigger files like 5-15 mb) then the internet explorer will show me the error "Site not found" after klicking on the submit button!
But if i try to upload a movie with firefox then there is no problem! Also the same with pictures! In IE you need to try up to 10 times to get your pic uploaded! (always with the error message: "site not found")
Whats wrong here? I have checked the filesize and permissions - they are ok!

Please help me!

Thanks

Frederik

What version of IE?  Have you tried using a different computer?  A different internet connection (like at a friend's house)?

That's the downstream - it doesn't apply for uploads, as you have to take into account the upstream speed. Usually, you have ADSL (the "A" is for "Asymmetric"), which means that the downstream speed doesn't equal the upstream speed.

You have to understand that there are several restrictions for uploads: some of them on the client (depending on the upstream speed), some of them depending on the client app (browsers may have different timeouts), some restrictions on the server (both in terms of webserver setup as well as coppermine setup).
Basically, you can't circumvent client-sided restrictions on the server-side (i.e. Coppermine setup), so you'll have to live with the restrictions. If uploading fails to work in IE but works in Firefox, then use Firefox. You (as admin) should use FTP-upload plus batch-add anyway.

hi, thanks! i just tried it with another computer and connection. the same result - in firefox no problem but with IE it works sometimes and sometimes not. I just wanted to understand why that can happen. Does it change anything if i change the php.ini to a greater timeout and upload size (now 8 MB)??

thanks

Changing server-sided settings (php.ini) won't have an impact on client-sided restrictions (IE timeouts). Do as I suggested: if IE does not work, but FF works, then only use FF. Simple as that.
