[RESOLVED] Error caught when Uploading file larger than 100KB

Hello @entrylvlSE and welcome to our forums

Usually the issue that you can’t see the error message is that the error reporting is not showing the error message. In order to see the error try for debugging the following instructions: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21429652/2282575

Now for your specific issue since the default value oh php.ini for upload_max_file_size is 100KB I don’t think that this is a coincidence. Please try to restart Apache to apply the changes. If this is still not working then maybe the php.ini file is on different folder.

Try creating a file with name phpinfo.php and add the following lines:

<?php
phpinfo(); 

This will print the configurations of PHP that you are using. Search for php.ini and you will see the location of your php.ini file as you can also see at the screenshot:

Please let me know if that worked for you.

Hello @entrylvlSE yes that’s correct the C:\php\php.ini file is the file that you should change. Also make sure that you’ve also restarted Apache or else the changes will not be applied.

Last but not least it seems that you are using PHP version 5.6.30 which we silently not support. I would suggest you to upgrade to PHP version 7 or later (if possible) as you may experience other issues with the library as well.

Hello @entrylvlSE ,

I would suggest latest Codeigniter version and latest PHP version if possible:

Codeigniter v4.2.10
PHP version v8.1

Hello @entrylvlSE ,

Back to your problem. From my experience when there are some upload limitations then the error is not reported from PHP (e.g. it can’t handle it and it is showing a blank page). I strongly believe that the issue is still that the configuration is not updated. Can you attach the screenshot of phpinfo by searching upload_max_filesize as you can also see at the below screenshot?

Also so I can help more, what Codeigniter version are you using?

Hello @entrylvlSE ,

Can you also check few more configurations?

max_execution_time, max_file_uploads, max_input_time, output_buffering, memory_limit, post_max_size

Also screenshot for the info:

If this is still doesn’t work then I am not convinced that it picked up the correct configuration still . Can you open the page with the enterprise version and instead of loading the CRUD (e.g. $crud->setTable()… e.t.c.) to output the below code and let me know the output please?

var_dump(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
exit;

and see if this is corresponding the correct value for you? My blind guess would be that you have 2 PHP installed into your machine. If this is the case you will need to find the second php.ini file and do the change there as well.

That’s very weird then. The only thing that you can do here is to debug it a little bit if this is not a big issue for you. Go to the file: application/libraries/GroceryCrudEnterprise/grocerycrud/enterprise/src/GroceryCrud/Core/State/UploadState.php and start debugging it to see where the issue is. More specifically go to the line 26 and start adding some var_dump . For example:

public function render()
    {
        var_dump('hello');
        die;
        $stateParameters = $this->getStateParameters();

        $this->setModel();
        $model = $this->gCrud->getModel();

        $this->initializeLight($model);

If this will work try to move the:

        var_dump('hello');
        die;

to a lower line to see where the issue is. My blind guess will be that this is not even going to the “render” function and PHP is blocking it.

Hello @entrylvlSE ,

Also a blind guess from your report. I’ve noticed that the memory limit is also low on your PHP. Can you please change the memory_limit from 60MB to 512MB ?

Let me know if that worked.

Also googling around seems that the ModSecurity also have some limitations on upload. Can you check this post here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71953805/apache-server-reverse-proxy-increase-file-upload-limit#:~:text=With%20basic%20configurations%20I%20could,max%20allowance%20of%2030%20MB. and try to change the SecRequestBodyLimit and SecRequestBodyInMemoryLimit configurations?

This configuration seems that it is on Apache from what I see here: Configuring mod_security so if that doesn’t work maybe try to disable the mod_security plugin temporarly (since you are running it locally) and try again? Don’t forget to always restart Apache as well.
