Save Easy Save 2 File on Server (PHP)

[janoschii]

Hey guys,

we would like to load and save an "Easy-Save-Files" over the internet on a server running php.
The file contains all the data of a project and is very big (over 2 GB).
I saw your blog: http://docs.moodkie.com/easy-save-2/gui ... gin-system

Do you think sizes over 2GB are possible? Are there limitations?
Did you ever tried to send a big easy save file to a server and got it running?

Thanks

Jan

Hi Jan,

Easy Save's web functionality is intended as a save data store, and as such uses a MySQL database which perhaps isn't suited to files of the size you're uploading. Instead you would probably be better off finding a method of uploading the file directly to the server.

In theory though, this is possible. You will need to ensure that your server is capable of receiving them however, because it's very unlikely that the PHP configuration will be set to allow POST requests of that size (I believe the default is 128mb). There might also be MySQL settings preventing this, and you will need to modify the data field in the MySQL tables to allow bigger file sizes. With regards to this, it's best to contact your server provider incase they have any other mechanisms in place which prevent large file uploads.

All the best,
Joel
