file upload problem

We have a service where users can send advertisements with image. It has
worked okay, except according to our testing, images greater than 500 kb
lead to "page cannot be found" - error.

I have gathered some of the "important looking" php settings from servers
phpinfo(). In all of these cases local value and master value are the same.

magic_quotes_gpc = On
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 8 M
post_max_size = 8 M
upload_max_filesize = 2 M

I would like to ask your opinions: what is the reason?

Have you tried increasing the execution time. Those big files might cause
some timeouts..
Just a guess though ;D

Probably it wouldn't help, because error comes in less than 30 seconds.

If the file upload terminates instantly (without actually waiting to
transfer a part of the file), this is definately an Apache issue. See my
earlier posting from last April about the issue:
http://tinyurl.com/2w828

In short:
The answer is in /httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Look for something like:

# Cause the PHP interpreter handle files with a .php extension.
<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 524288
</Files>

And Increase the "LimitRequestBody" value, restart apache and enjoy.
