The length for file <name> is too big.

I know, this HAS been asked and SOMEWHAT answered in a different thread. But not SOLVED.

This error occurs when trying to use the bulk uploader in Phoca. The answer in the thread was that there's a problem with the Flash uploader in joomla and to just turn that off and all's OK.

Well, I'm getting this error and my Joomla flash uploader is already turned off so I can't see it as a Joomla problem. Has anyone gotten to the bottom of this? Phoca was going to work as I needed until I encountered this error - after only 10-12 pics uploaded. My client has thousands!

An update or solution would be appreciated.

Hi, can you paste exact phrase of this error message? I cannot find any such message in the Joomla! system :idea:

Here's a screen-shot of what happens.

Unfortunately, it's happening to my worst client and it's all my fault!

Hi, the error message is not produced by Joomla! or Phoca Gallery. Searching Google seems like this error message is produced by Java upload applet which gets this error by your php settings. So seems (not 100% sure) like your php settings (e.g. upload_max_filesize, or other e.g. post size ) needs to be changed as there is some limit for uploading files which is smaller than your uploaded images.
