I have the same issue with file uploads. I'm using the 1.7.6 version and i tried to upload a file that isn't even that big. i tried to upload a photo that is only 104 kb and 769x1024 and got the error below

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3072 bytes) in /htdocs/elgg/engine/lib/filestore.php on line 827

Replying to roho:

Your issue is that PHP only has 10 MB allocated to it. You'll have a tough time running Elgg without a configuration change.

i changed the upload to 64 mb and i'm able to upload the photos now. however, i tried uploading pdf files, one was 300 kb, and the other was 1.6 mb, and neither of them uploaded. i didn't get that error, but the file just showed up with the adobe acrobat icon and it was o kb. so it was not uploaded. the pdf files that i attempted to upload were created from adobe acrobat

Check post_max_size and upload_max_filesize. Also, this is not a support forum, so you should use the community site for any further inquiries and report a bug only once you've confirmed that it is indeed a problem with Elgg.

ok, i'm sorry. i appreciate your help. I'm new to the Elgg community, so I didn't know. my apologies

No worries, thanks for your understanding! I hope I didn't come across too terse, there. Welcome to Elgg!

The problem seems to be that Elgg loads the entire file into memory in the process of downloading/uploading it.

cash wrote on 41420968-02-07

As far as I know, PHP requires the entire file in memory for upload. It does not for download - that is just bad coding in Elgg.

trac user mcloughlin3 wrote on 41420981-07-15

I recall reading that in the PHP docs as well, however now I'm not so sure. I was able to uploaded 500+ MB files using the patch I have in the pull queue with PHP memory limit set to 128M.

Huh, very cool. I think it is worth pulling this in on 1.7.10 and 1.8.0.
