Post Reply? Hello all, I am hosting a moodle install on my website. I didn’t use the One Click Install but a manual install. Everything is working great except for 1 thing. I need to allow my students to be able to upload large files through the assignment submissions area. I am aware of the php.ini and cgi file changes that need to be made in order to allow the max_upload_size etc. to be large enough for uploads. I have also set my domain to use Fast CGI and regular CGI in the web panel options. However, I am getting an error when students attempt to upload any files larger then about 40MB. Here is the error: The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. It seems to be a timeout issue but I have set the page and script times in the php.ini file to be more than sufficient I think. The file seems to be attempting to be uploaded from anywhere between 45s and 90s before erroring out. Do you have any idea as to what is causing this connection to be reset? As far as I can tell the software should be allowing it. Or am I missing something obvious? Thanks everyone! Brad
