you did what to the prize fighting monkey?

Currently there's an issue on the secondary image farm caused by a retard with a keyboard.

After accidentally deleting 300k images they're now syncing back. If you get red X's refresh til it loads off the primary farm.

Oops?

And the keyboard tard is... ?

<whistles>..... look over there!

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more.

This one is borked on my browser

pulse@imgfarm$ find 0/b/7/0/www_plus613_net_Wow278.jpg
find: `0/b/7/0/www_plus613_net_Wow278.jpg': No such file or directory
pulse@imgfarm$

.. hrmph. No idea how that happened.

I've deleted the pic from the site, the image has gone AWOL somewhere/sometime/somehow

It drowned in Biscayne Bay and drifted out to sea.

Maybe a dingo got it.

That was the baby

the dingo ate your baby

The dingo ate your thumbnails.

Should be back now. I did some sneaky maintenance on one of the image servers Should only have been down for about 5 mins.

My mistrust of the hosting company is growing, so I've been doing some changes to allow full offsite backups of everything - DB, images, etc - in case of any issues.

Ok, make that an hour or so. I just realised that I deleted the link to the thumbs directory.

Oops?

this forum is trying to tell me it's new too. I suggest you work on this; realize that you are about to do something stupid before actually doing it and then don't do the stupid part.

That would require thinking about what we do. Or having a clue

Unable to upload images after earlier internal server error 500.

Still? Seems OK to me

Sorry my bad, the file was too big. It'd be nice if there was an error saying so but oh well.

Yep if it's too small you'll hear about it but if it's too big, not a word

Yeah. Size DOES matter. I should know by now anyway. I didn't look at the file size until after it failed a couple of times and by then I'd already whined about it here. I thought since there was the error 500 just before that maybe it was related.

lol, pj

I don't remember what the file size limit is .. I thought it was 10MB .. can't even remember how to check.

It is somewhat less than 10MB. I tried a 10MB and a 9.7MB file and both failed to upload.

if ($_FILES ['photo'] ['size'] >= '152428800' && ! $error) {
                $smarty->assign ( "error", 'the size of the image is too large. please upload something a little smaller' );
                $error = true;
        }

Looks to me like it should take 152,428,800 bytes, or 150MB - something left over from when we were playing with video uploads. Hrm.

Edit: [plus613.net] is an 11,8MB (11,803,928 bytes) image that I just successfully uploaded (using URL upload method, not upload from my PC) - how are you attempting to do it? Maybe getting an HTTP timeout rather than image too large? NFI what timeout is set here..

I upload from my PC. My upload speed is limited to 4Mbs or less, wonder if that may be the issue. I don't get any timeout errors.

So part of the tinkering i've just completed is that I changed the upload_max_filesize to 20M.. realise that when you upload a file via a webform it grabs the file, converts it to text, then sends it to the webserver. Things like jpg don't convert that well to text (from binary) so the overhead can be kinda big. So if you have a 19.78M file it's most likely gonna fail with a 500. The bit of code pulse pasted is what is triggered if you use the webfetch method to upload images. Unforunately I don't think you can get a nicer error message when you go past the upload_max_filesize so either I increase it to 500M and then let the file size checker take care of things or people just need to not upload uncompressed supa images..

On of the changes I want to introduce if I'm not too lazy is a async js file uploader.. so you can upload images and still continue to browse the site.. but that would require a major rewrite of the add_photo's part of the site.. plus yanno.. learning javascript..

Limit seems kinda low today.

The thumbnail of the image I uploaded this morning still isn't showing and if I try and go to the upload page I'm getting a blank page. I'm using Chrome.
