Hi,<br />
change your php.ini with appropiate values, see below the options you need to change<br />
<b>max_input_time</b><br />
<b>max_execution_time <br />
</b><b>memory_limit</b><br />
&nbsp;Maybe it helps, Cheers<br />

</div>


<div>
These are the values as follows<br />
<br />
(1and1 server -- PROBLAMATIC)<br />
max_input_time = &nbsp;-1<br />
max_execution_time = 50000<br />
memory_limit = 40mb<br />
<br />
(mediatemple server --- WORKS FINE)<br />
max_input_time = &nbsp;60<br />
max_execution_time = 30<br />
memory_limit = 32mb<br />
<br />
what do i need to change on the 1and1 server???<br />

</div>


<div>
Hmm , do you have access to httpd.conf, can you look at <b>TimeOut</b> directive ?
</div>


<div>
no i dont have access, it a shared hosting server on 1and1
</div>


<div>
here are the phpinfo pages for the 1and1 and mediatemple sites respectably<br />
<br />
<a href="http://markagee.com/phpinfo.php" rel="ugc">http://markagee.com/phpinfo.php</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://upgradeyourbusiness.com/phpinfo.php" rel="ugc">http://upgradeyourbusiness.com/phpinfo.php</a><br />
<br />
dont know if thats any help
</div>


<div>
on <a href="http://markagee.com/phpinfo.php" rel="ugc">http://markagee.com/phpinf<wbr />o.php</a> i can't see any apache handler or timeout directive,<br />
anyway can you send the part of your script that forces download ?<br />

</div>


<div>
Heres the code<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-263071"><span>/***************************DOWLOAD SCRIPTING start ***************************/</span>
<span>/**/	$filename = $row_qAuth['path'];</span>

<span>/**/	if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) {</span>
<span>/**/	  ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');</span>
<span>/**/	}</span>
<span>/**/	clearstatcache();</span>
<span>/**/	$file = $path.$filename; </span>
<span>/**/			$fp = fopen($file, &quot;rb&quot;);</span>
<span>/**/if ( $fp )</span>
<span>/**/{</span>
<span>/**/$filesize = filesize($file);</span>
<span>/**/</span>
<span>/**/header(&quot;Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0&quot;);</span>

<span>/**/header(&quot;Content-Type: application/octet-stream&quot;);</span>
<span>/**/header(&quot;Content-Length: &quot; . $filesize);</span>
<span>/**/</span>
<span>/**/while ( !feof($fp) )</span>
<span>/**/{</span>
<span>/**/echo(fgets($fp, 4096));</span>
<span>/**/}</span>
<span>/**/fclose($fp);</span>
<span>/**/}</span>

<div>
Interesting fact i just discovered.<br />
<br />
If the download script is outside of drupal ie: markagee.com/dtest.php it works.<br />
<br />
But when it's within drupal, ie markagee.com/download it dosent work
</div>


<div>
very interesting, i can't figure it out why this behaviour..can you also post a link within the download directory ?<br />

</div>


<div>
I would've suggested to try the script without the content lenght:<i> </i><i>header(&quot;Content-Length: &quot;&nbsp;. $filesize);</i> but the above behaviour with the directories changed my view on this, but you could try it nonetheless and see if it will work.<br />

</div>


<div>
goto: <a href="http://markagee.com/user" rel="ugc">http://markagee.com/user</a><br />
<br />
login with user:guest<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; pass:welc0me<br />
<br />
then go to: <a href="http://markagee.com/downloads/software/windows" rel="ugc">http://markagee.com/downloads/software/windows</a><br />
the last item is a game called &quot;Uplink&quot; its 50MB, click download and the download will start, but will stop exactly at 25.2.<br />
<br />
This is an outside of drupal PHP script to that same file: markagee.com/dtest.php<br />
<br />
and this is the direct file path: markagee.com/files/downloa<wbr />ds/softwar<wbr />e/windows/<wbr />uplink.zip<wbr /><br />
<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
Due to the not as simple nature as i thought of this question, im raising the point value to 400
</div>


<div>
Tried this, it didn't work, still stops exactly at 25.2MB<br />
<br />

<div>
I've downloaded from here markagee.com/dtest.php and it only got me 32 MB, but the initial call to the url showed me it has 50.1 MB. So the problem is still there even in the document root. Could you verifiy this again please ?
</div>


<div>
might have been interrupted.<br />
<br />
When i tried with firefox<br />
markagee.com/dtest.php<br />
<br />
i got all 50mb's
</div>


<div>
Yes i'm also changed the browser and for the last 5 minutes i download with firefox with DownThemAll addon and just now it gave me an error saying Size mismatched, and it seems it arrived at 71% from the 50MB. Try the previous function i proposed, it could work.<br />

</div>


<div>
ok i implemented the code as follows<br />
<br />
but now when i hit download i get weird symbols, like the browser is trying to open the zip, instead of donwload it. Did i miss something???<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-263109"><span>function readfile_chunked($filename,$retbytes=true) {</span>
<span>   $chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk</span>
<span>   $buffer = '';</span>
<span>   $cnt = 0;</span>
<span>   $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');</span>
<span>   if ($handle === false) {</span>
<span>       return false;</span>
<span>   }</span>
<span>   while (!feof($handle)) {</span>
<span>       $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);</span>
<span>       echo $buffer;</span>
<span>       ob_flush();</span>
<span>       flush();</span>
<span>       if ($retbytes) {</span>
<span>           $cnt += strlen($buffer);</span>
<span>       }</span>
<span>   }</span>
<span>       $status = fclose($handle);</span>
<span>   if ($retbytes &amp;&amp; $status) {</span>
<span>       return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.</span>
<span>   }</span>
<span>   return $status;</span>
<span>}</span>
<span>$filepath = $row_qAuth['path'];</span>
<span>$serverpath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].&quot;/files/downloads/software/windows/&quot;;</span>
<span>$file = $serverpath . $filepath;</span>
<span>readfile_chunked($file);</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
yes, keep the download headers:<br />
header(&quot;Pragma: public&quot;); // required<br />
header(&quot;Expires: 0&quot;);<br />
header(&quot;Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0&quot;);<br />
header(&quot;Cache-Control: private&quot;,false); // required for certain browsers <br />
header(&quot;Content-Type: application/octet-stream&quot;)<wbr />;<br />
header(&quot;Content-Dispositio<wbr />n: attachment; filename=\&quot;&quot;.basename($fil<wbr />ename).&quot;\&quot;<wbr />;&quot; );<br />
header(&quot;Content-Transfer-E<wbr />ncoding: binary&quot;);<br />
&nbsp;readfile_chunked($filename<wbr />);<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
That's great! Glad i could help.<br />
Cheers<br />

I Have a drupal instalation where i offer i list of software downloads. The download script was written by me not drupal. So my problem: on my 1and1.com server, downloads stop at 25.2mb if they are greater than that size ie: 50mb.<br />

PHP Download Script problem

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
