Thread:Project:Support desk/Uploading a 2GB Zip file Timeouts

I upload a 2GB zip file and it timeouts after a few hours. One time I did manage to upload a 1.5 GB file so I know it's possible. I have a dedicated server. Is there any way to prevent it from timing out?

On Google Chrome I get this message: This web page is not available The connection to game-soundtracks.com was interrupted.

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

My site is at http://game-soundtracks.com/Tools You don't have to login to upload files. From MediaWiki Version Check:

MediaWiki 1.16.5

PHP	5.2.17 (cgi)

MySQL	5.1.56-log

In php.ini I changed the following to 2000M:

upload_max_filesize

post_max_size

In LocalSettings.php I use this:

$wgEnableUploads = true;

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'zip'; $wgFileBlacklist = array_diff( $wgFileBlacklist, array ('zip') ); $wgMimeTypeBlacklist = array(       # HTML may contain cookie-stealing JavaScript and web bugs 'text/html', 'text/javascript', 'text/x-javascript',  'application/x-shellscript',        # PHP scripts may execute arbitrary code on the server 'application/x-php', 'text/x-php',        # Other types that may be interpreted by some servers 'text/x-python', 'text/x-perl', 'text/x-bash', 'text/x-sh', 'text/x-csh',        # Client-side hazards on Internet Explorer 'text/scriptlet', 'application/x-msdownload',        # Windows metafile, client-side vulnerability on some systems 'application/x-msmetafile',        # A ZIP file may be a valid Java archive containing an applet which exploits the        # MS Office OpenXML and other Open Package Conventions files are zip files 'application/x-opc+zip', );
 * 1) and thus blacklisted just as other zip files
