I don't see any error logs dating to the file upload issue. I asked my hosting if it's apache or nginx. They do both. So awaiting an answer from them.

<p>I try to upload a file larger than the 16 MB Craft limit. The file I try to upload is 61 MB.</p>

<p>I have set the <code>maxUploadFileSize to 256000000</code>.
My hosting company changes the server PhP settings to this:</p>

<pre><code>max_file_uploads = 20
upload_max_filesize = 256M
max_input_time = 180
memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 256M
</code></pre>

<p>The file starts to upload but when the progress bar is at 50%, it just stops. It keeps "uploading" (wheel keeps spinning in the top right corner) but nothing happens anymore. </p>

<p>I don't get a front-end error either. But in my browser console it says: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET</p>

<p>Anyone who can help me find a solution?</p>

<pre><code>POST http://krycer.be/index.php/admin/actions/assets/uploadFile 502 (Proxy Error ( The specified network name is no longer available.  ))
</code></pre>

<p>When I diasble my proxy I get this error:</p>

<pre><code>POST http://krycer.be/index.php/admin/actions/assets/uploadFile 500 (( The specified network name is no longer available.  ))

<p>The file upload completes, but the status bar remains visible, allthough full, and the file is not visible in the assets folder.</p>

Is it working with smaller images? Do you have access to setting the upload size on the server level?

It is working with smaller files. I don't have access to the server php settings but previously I got an error saying the file was to big. That's why I mailed the hosting company to adjust the PhP settings and I added the file setting in my general.php So the issue must be something else.

Do you know if the web server is Apache or Nginx? I ask because I know Nginx has quite a keen timeout default which I usually have to increase.

Also ask if they have Suhosin or mod_security installed/enabled. They have their own additional settings in addition to the standard php.ini ones.

They told me that they adjusted the suhosin settings already.

If it's a one-off case, then might be easier to just FTP the file up and run the "Update Asset Indexes" tool.

It's not a one off. Tried it already with several different files. It's kind of a problem as my client needs to be able to upload some software and the site is live already. I asked my hosting to look into it too. Anyone else who has an idea?

It would be worth checking `craft/storage/runtime/logs/craft.log`, it's very likely there's a clue in there.
