I've searched this whole forum and found where others have been able to fix this problem....but I haven't.
The problem... I upload movies (.mov). The seem to work fine but the actual file did not go. A thumbnail is created. I used the built in upload (applet and form) and the Remote Gallery.
I've changed php.ini settings.

here is what the debug says:
******Adding morganwalking.mov*****

Doing the naming
Image Preprocessing
Resizing/compressing original image
Cannot resize/compress this filetype
Adding Photo to the photo list
Generating thumbnail. Error: Email problem: skipping admin (UID 1129064920_388044286) because email address is not valid.
Operation was done successfully. Emailing is on, but no email was sent as no valid email address was found

The email stuff I can fix.

I get this in my Gallery Configuration. I've done what it says. Add that to the httpd.conf file. The one I added it to was in /etc/httpd/conf/
Still nothing. I put it at the end. Not sure if that is correct.

The movie is not uploaded. I can fix the email problem. The problem is that the file does not get uploaded. A thumbnail is created but the file is missing. I believe the problem lies with the warning in the configuration settings.

Is a file getting created for the movie? If so, how many bytes is it?
Have you ruled out a FAQ: Why can't I upload big files (over a megabyte or two)? issue?

Because it is so clear, it takes a longer time to realize it.

No file is created. Just the thumbnail for the file. The time it takes to try and upload the file seems like it works. A 3mb file takes much longer than a 300k file. Just the 300k file shows up.
Do you know where to find the php.conf file? I don't have a dir called conf.d in /etc/httpd/

Of course it takes longer, I'd guess it takes about 10 times longer. But that doesn't mean the server will process it once it's complete.

Not sure where else to look. AFAIK that's the only place redhat would put it: /etc/httpd/conf.d/

You could try, as root, entering locate php.conf

You could also look on your php_info page (from the setup area) and see what upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are set to.

Not sure how to use the locate command....

it says on my php.info page that the upload_max is 2mb which is probably the problem. But if I go to the file, i have it set to 128mb. Post_max is 8mb.

Open up a shell (e.g. ssh/telnet into the box), change to root su -, then type the locate command locate php.conf

(all you need to do is type the parts in the grey boxes)

sorry to have wasted time.
peace.
