    Lightbulb [PHPMotion] Failed to find flength file

    What this solution fixes:
    1) Progress bar on uploading is not showing
    2) You are getting an error when uploading "Failed to find flength file"


    Please, make sure that your custom php.ini contains the following:
    Code:
    upload_max_filesize = 100M
    post_max_size = 100M
    output_buffering = On
    max_execution_time = 1000
    max_input_time = 1000
    session.gc_maxlifetime = 14400
    enable_dl = on
    And .htaccess:
    Code:
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off

    Please note that adding this to your .htaccess:
    Code:
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    Will disable mod security on your website. Mod security can help prevent many types of common hacks, but sometimes can produce false positives especially on sites that allow public uploading.

    can you tell me more about this?

    is there any other way of fixing this bug without doing this?

    In the directory where the script is installed, as well as in the admin directory. Though a cleaner way is to just stick it in the top level directory of your script (usually public_html) and then set it up so that the one file is read recursively from the top all the way down to all subfolders. Check this thread for how to do that:

    I don't think it is a bug. This:

    Code:
    upload_max_filesize 100M
    post_max_size = 100M
    output_buffering = On
    max_execution_time = 1000
    max_input_time = 1000
    session.gc_maxlifetime = 14400
    last I checked on their installation docs was required to be in PHP in order for the script to run.

    The mod security thing is if you are getting 406 errors on the site, it will get rid of them and it will also disable mod security completely on the account.

    Mod security protects against known exploits, which means basically it helps prevent hacks on sites where the site owner is lazy and misses an update or two to the software they run. You should be safe without it, so long as you update your scripts the same day new security releases have been released.

    If you never update your scripts, mod security will help, but it won't get them all.

    Default (script conflict) Modified cgi-bin/uu_default_config.pm

    Ive modified /home/user/www/cgi-bin/uu_default_config.pm to solve a conflict with the upload file size in the php.ini file

    If you have 300 meg in your php.ini for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size like so:

    Code:
    upload_max_filesize 300M
    post_max_size = 300M
    Then you are also going to have to reconfigure the maximum allowed bytes in the uu_default_config.pm to be at least the same as your php.ini.

    FROM:
    Code:
    max_upload => 209715200,
    TO
    Code:
    max_upload => 314572800,
    314572800 bytes is equal to 300 megabytes.

    Hi, I have the same problem on my account. Defoult I did't have any php.ini file in my home folder or in the folder where phpmotion is installed. When i add a php.ini file with

    upload_max_filesize 100M
    post_max_size = 100M
    output_buffering = On
    max_execution_time = 1000
    max_input_time = 1000
    session.gc_maxlifetime = 14400

    after that new error take place "extension_dir does not exists /usr/php4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429". I noticed that there is another post about this error but i didn't find a solution there. I'am playing with it for 2 days now, please help, what I doing wrong ?
