I've used coppermine a few times before and on a fresh instal and after following all the instructions in as many relevant threads as i could find i'm posting here.
after trying everything i'm at my wits end. I was able to up the values to 500 for suhosin.post.max_vars and suhosin.request.max_vars even suhosin.get.max_vars = 500 but that's not working for me.
after bumping up the values to 1000 I was able to finally batch add the 190 or so images. Given the harsh tone of some of the replies here I was hesitant to post here, but an issue that is created with a fantastico install is something that will limit the scripts use. It would be nice if there were some details on why so many vars are needed 1000 for 190 files???
how do you change the values...not much info is out there so here is the deal
locate php.ini by ssh accessing your hosting. if your on shared you will need to contact support, for dedicated or VPS you should be able to log into ssh as the root. enter the comand "locate php.ini" and you will be show a list of where the file can be found. in my case at usr/lib/php.ini I found a program at
http://winscp.net/ that allowed me a ftpish look at the root folder via an ssh connection.
I copied usr/lib/php.ini to my local drive, opened it in notepad and looked for the line:
"extension="suhosin.so"".
Directly below that I pasted :
suhosin.get.max_vars = 1000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 1000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 1000
Save the file then using winscp rename the current file php.ini to php2.ini as a backup, then upload the edited version. Reboot your server to recompile the php settings.
step by step this is what worked for me and this is the only place i know of that now details each step.
I'd like to know if i've just created a security or performance issue
