Strange behaviour restoring DiDA courses

Strange behaviour restoring DiDA courses

We are setting up the courses provided on the free DiDA cds, and are experiencing a strange behaviour when restoring courses larger than 8MB.

When you click on 'Restore', it goes through the first 4 stages:
  • Creating temporary structures
  • Deleting old data
  • Copying zip file
  • Unzipping backup
Then it just stops, no error message, just finished.

We are kind of thinking one of the PHP settings is stopping the process, but we're not sure which one. Looking at PHPInfo:
  • memory_limit is set to 64MB,
  • post_max_size is set to 8MB,
  • upload_max_filesize is set to 20MB,
  • max_execution_time is set to 50000
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Hi,

I think both of these settings need to be greater than 8Mb:

# post_max_size is set to 8MB
# upload_max_filesize is set to 20MB

Hi Ray,

Thanks for that, I have tried to increase those values. Not made any difference yet. I'm also a little unsure as to what directory the php.ini file needs to go - have placed copies in the root, admin, files and backup folders, but not made any difference to restoring problems.
