Upload of large files (1GB)

I want to upload large files (1GB) with ckfinder.
But I'm unable to upload files larger than 32MB.

The ckfinder error message is (something like): "Invalid file. File size too large."
I get this message immediately after starting the upload.
I don't see an error message in the apache / php error log.

That's what I have configured:

PHP (php.ini):

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 32M
post_max_size = 2000M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 2000M

CKFinder 2.1.1 (config.php):

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
  'name' => 'Files',  // Single quotes not allowed
  'url' => $baseUrl . 'files',
  'directory' => $baseDir . 'files',
  'maxSize' => "2000M",
  'allowedExtensions' => 'exe,7z,aiff,asf,avi,zip',
  'deniedExtensions' => '');

Questions:
- Do I miss something ?
- Has someone a working configuration for large file uploads ?

Re: Upload of large files (1GB)

memory_limit needs to be higher than post_max_size. Your upload is larger than your available memory allowance.
Also post_max_size should be larger than upload_max_filesize.

I have changed the php.ini parameters:

max_execution_time = 1800
max_input_time = 1800
memory_limit = 2000M

After the changes I was able to upload files with a size of 1 GB.
More testing and tuning is required - "memory_limit" is probably a "dangerous" parameter.

Thanks to Karin.
