Webdav Access to file manager

JosephWithCOR

Trying to upload a 13.4Mb zip file to the file manager. Updated php.ini per https://docs.itflow.org/faq.

When browsing to it and selecting it for upload, the displayed url goes to /post.php and nothing.

In /settings_debug.php I found

upload_max_filesize 20M

upload_tmp_dir no value

user_dir no value

In /var/log/apache2/error.log I found

Sorry. Brain hit enter before thought left fingers.

If there was webdav access to the file manager, I could work with the online file system from my local file manager.

PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 13778119 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes

This would suggest that the PHP file size limit is still too low (the default 8MB). Not sure where you adjusted it, but it doesn't seem to have taken effect.

I'm not overly familiar with WebDAV but I don't see the need for this, or how it'd work as uploaded files have to be recorded in the database. HTTP file uploads work fine when PHP/Apache is configured correctly.

you will also want to set post max size var too in php.ini

see here I set mine to 100M

@JosephWithCOR Did this work for you?

JosephWithCOR

It did. I missed the post max size in my php.ini.

@wrongecho Webdav give you access to the file / folder structure independent of the web page. NextCloud has a webdav interface (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html) that allows me to access my server folder on my linux desktop via webdavs:// via my file manager independent of the web site.

Not being a programmer, I don't know how the smoke behind the mirrors is created.

Just planting a seed.

I do appreciate everyone's hard work.

It is really cool idea but would require a huge amount of work maybe someday unless someone beats us to it.
