We have a user who wants to upload podcasts to her website via PHP forms
(Wordpress & Drupal). Some of the podcasts are in the 60-minute+ range
and take up over 100MB. Has anyone on the list had experience with this
sort of thing?
Our setup:
Dell PowerEdge 2400, 700MHz P3, 1.25 GB RAM, running stock Sarge
2.6.8-3-686 SMP kernel
Apache 1.3.33 (standard Sarge build)
PHP 4.3.10-18 (via suphp package), running as CGI
Thus far, I've modified the following php settings:
upload_max_size 250M
post_max_size 500M
memory_limit 500M
max_execution_time 3600
and the following Apache setting:
Timeout 3600
I had to modify Firefox as well, via about:config.
After all this mucking around, the file still took 20 minutes to
upload--over our LAN, no less! While the file was being written to the
upload_tmp_dir (/tmp), the php4 process gobbled over 100MB RAM. If this
only happened once a day, we might be able to live with it, but ten
concurrent uploads of this size would pretty much bring things to a
halt. How have you all handled this?
