My uploading speed is 40kb/sec Getting flash error while uploading photos bigger than 500kb and getting no error while uploading photos less than 100-500kb~.

My friend has 8mbit uploading speed and has no errors even while uploading 3.2mb photos and more.

How to fix this problem?

I have tried to re-upload on IO error trigger, but it stops at the same place.

Any solution regarding this error?

By the way, i was watching process via debugging proxy and figured out, that responce headers doesn't come at all on this IO error.

And sometimes shows socket error.

If need, i will post serverside php script as well. But it stops at

if(isset($_FILES['Filedata']))
{

so it won't help :) as all processing comes after this check.

Answer 1

Sounds like a problem with the server, not so much in the actionscript. Try updating the php.ini to allow larger upload limits:

Answer 2

Actually it WAS a server problem. A few weeks ago we moved on VDS with Ubuntu 10.04 with Apache and the problem disappeared by itself.

On previous server, there were litespeed server with unix as I remember.
