Game upload issues

Posted by ALCH3MIST on Dec. 12, 2011, 1:40 a.m.

I was attracted to 64 D for the Frosty Four Competition, and decided - what the hell, might as well be here. Besides, it's driven by FUS RO DAH :D

Unfortunately, the UPLOAD IS NOT WORKING. My latest game, THE MAZE [ featured on yoyogames :D ] is proving a pain to get up here. Come on, the zip's only 30 MB. And it's a damn good game. Have a poke at it.

It's scary good. http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/190417-themaze

64digits is known to have problems with the uploader with large filesizes. There at least used to be a way to submit the game to the database from an external host by providing the URL of the gamefile. Not sure if that still exists.

Also with the recent upgrade some things still need fixing so theres always that….

People keep saying that they fixed the filesize problem, but it continues to exist. It could be a server thing but idk, maybe if I get time I'll look into it. Doubt I'd be much better than some of the guys who have tried before me.

For now, if you want to host it for sharing, Dropbox is a pretty good solution. A lot of people here use it.

How strange. When I take a look at the PHP settings, the max upload size is 50M… I dunno what's happening here.

Just use this. Been using it for like, 5-6 years now.

What does happen when you try to upload? Are you waiting long enough, or does it error out?

@someone who hasn't forgotten passwords for SSH etc., check the Apache upload settings, they override the PHP ones IIRC.

Ah, gotcha. :P

EDIT: okay so I already looked through the httpd.conf and php.ini files. According to the internet, I'm supposed to modify LimitRequestBody to increase the upload size. But I couldn't even find that in the httpd.conf file. I took another look into the site's php.ini file. As expected, the upload_max_filesize was set to 50M, however the post_max_size is set to 8M. I'll increase it to 64M and see if that helps. I've increased the memory_limit to 64M as well, as that apparently has an effect on uploads.

Damn, none of that worked. Perhaps the connection is timing out in the middle of the upload?

Or you need to find httpd.conf and fix that. That's what it was… 5 servers ago?
