[ZendTo] 4.20-3 bug-fix release

Tue Jan 31 15:49:02 GMT 2017

I know that PHP 5.3 can be patched to allow for >2GB files, but I strongly recommend you upgrade your PHP to version 5.6. Version 5.3 is no longer supported and no longer receives even security updates. As an added bonus, if you upgrade to 5.6, the 2GB file transfer limit (at least on 64-bit OS systems) goes away and you can send arbitrary large files without having to patch PHP.

Good Luck!

Hi,

hmmm, well let me explain a little bit.

Today I had a user calling in asking why he could not upload his large file (it broke at about 1.9Gb).
I then tested it with a 5.9 GB ZIP File and had it stop at about 50 percent, sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

Since the server was very unresponsive during the upload we added more RAM (has now 12Gb) and 2 cores (no problem when using VM).

I could then upload the 5.9 GB without problems using Google Chrome for Windows (latest).

Then I read your email and my installation outputs the following:

  [root at server ~]# rpm -qi php-common
  Name        : php-common                   Relocations: (not relocatable)
  Version     : 5.3.3                             Vendor: CentOS
  Release     : 48.el6_8                      Build Date: Thu 11 Aug 2016 10:40:52 PM CEST
  Install Date: Tue 16 Aug 2016 07:27:55 AM CEST      Build Host: worker1.bsys.centos.org

  URL         : http://www.php.net/
  Summary     : Common files for PHP
  Description :
  The php-common package contains files used by both the php
  package and the php-cli package.

So this is obviously the default PHP from CentOS but it seems, that large files are working.
I started this system with a prebuilt VM from ZendTo and just updated it with "yum update" for 3 years now.
This is the productive system (4.12), not the test system (4.20), but both have the same PHP version.

So is there a limit over 5.9 GB? If so, how can I fix my productive system (if I need to)?
Or does it mean that this PHP version supports the large files out of the box?

## and a different question concerning the test system (with latest ZendTo)
I registered for new Captcha Keys and enabled the following in preferences.php

  'captcha' => 'google',
  'recaptchaPublicKey'   => 'myscret',
  'recaptchaPrivateKey'  => 'mykey',
  'recaptchaInvisible'   => TRUE,
  'recaptchaLanguage'    => 'en',

(of course I have real keys in my file)

Shouldn't the Captcha get replaced by the "I am not a robot" or maybe stay completely invisible while using Chrome and being logged into a Google account?
Instead it shows the normal captcha (...select traffic signs and so on). Or am I totally wrong on this?

I think I registered for the correct service because in my google account it shows a line like:

    The Invisible reCAPTCHA documentation site provides more details and advanced configuration options.

So I think I chose the right solution and set it up properly. I enabled it for our entire domain (but not for localhost if that matters).
I access the Testsytem by modifying my local hosts file with FQDN drop.ourdomain.de.

Any ideas? And sorry for my many questions today!

Kind regards

Peter

Peter,

The version number of the php-common (for example) rpm should have something added to it to make it obvious it's not the version supplied by your OS vendor. For example, on my RedHat 6 production system, I get this:
$ rpm -q php-common
php-common-5.3.3-48.jkf.el6.x86_64

You should have something (".jkf" in the output above) inserted between the version number and the build OS+architecture.

Also, if you do "rpm -qi php-common", one of the bits of information it prints is the "Build Host". From that it should be obvious if it was built on your site or on CentOS's or RedHat's build systems.

Cheers,
Jules.

Hi Jules,

do you know how I can verify, that my PHP version is patched to allow large uploads without needing to try it via a real upload on my zend.to box?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regars

Hi Jules,

seems to work.

I removed php-mbstring and restarted httpd then I got this which looks promising:

Perfect, just what I wanted. Hopefully that error is enough?
