Internal server error with Fast-CGI and file upload > 15M

Hi!
I'm hosting a couple of drupal6 sites on ISPconfig3. Unfortunately I run into an issue when trying to upload files larger than around 15 MB in drupal - getting Error 500, Internal server error. The apache2 log does not log anything when this happens.
Uploading smaller files works fine.
Switching from Fast-CGI to SuPHP solves the problem, but then I run into another stupid drupal issue... CGI: same problem.

Thankful for any hints

Hi,

how did you set upload_max_filesize in php.ini for your drupal sites?

By default upload_ max_filesize is small. (e.g 2MB in Ubuntu)

Cheers

 

Yes, of course As said this works perfectly fine if switching to SuPHP in ISPconfig - which of course it wouldn't if the setting you mention wasn't increased from default...
Thanks anyway!

Try this:

http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html#fcgidmaxrequestlen

Cheers

 

Exellent! Thanks - this did the trick
Just to clearify: Do I just need to specify the wanted max upload size in bytes here?

Yes, I think so.
