Can't upload PDF

Hi,

I've upgraded recently to 2.9.7.1. Now I tried to upload a PDF document but it wouldn't work. When I tried to upload another PDF of smaller size (<1MB) it worked, but when I tried to upload another PDF of similar size (1,5MB) it wouldn't work either. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Ute

Any stacktrace into your log ?

Assets are stored into database. Maybe there is a maximum size param set for your database.
With mysql, you can change this param with : mysql --max_allowed_packet=32M (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/fr/packet-too-large.html).

Or maybe it's the application server that sets a maximum.
For tomcat, check the maxPostSize param into server.xml : http://www.casabacdemo.com/forum/posts/list/262.page and http://www.websina.com/bugzero/faq/exception-tomcat-connector.html

I think astek is on the right track here, but for completeness I just want to add that assets can be stored on disk too, depending on the setting "Store assets on disk (not in database as default)" in "Webserver settings".

Sweet !
I didn't have realized there was such parameter. Storage into database is a drawback for some of my clients, I definetly have to check it out =P

There is also a max size to check on asset keys in Administration -> ContentTypeDefinitions (but it's only for specific contents, shouldn't matter if your problem is global).

Is this feature not experimental anymore ?

Actually I am not sure, but I also didn't know it was experimental previously...

We (Uppsala University) are using it anyway. I think it was Bogeblad himself that set it up in the beginning. That is just a guess though, since I wasn't working with IG at that time.
