video problem

Hi,

I can't upload a video to my site.  I tried flv & mpg with no luck.  The max settings in the php.ini are fine but I get a upload error 406 after it shows 100% on the upload.  Anyone know what the 406 error is?  Oh and the video folder is set at 777.

Thank

have a read through this trouble shooter for ray here

I give up.  I checked and double checked everything listed but still no go.  Thanks anyway.

Rms and ffmpeg are completely seperate entites mydatery.

ffmpeg is used to convert a video file to flv (music too but thats not the issue here)....which is done on the server.. nothing to do with rms.

So basically if you have bought some space which dosent allow the use of ffmpeg.exe you wont be able to upload any video files for conversion.

It also dosent matter if its adfree or not, the rms connection provided works upto a point and that point is no video chat.

You have the option of purchasing a rms/red5 connection from suitable hosts that will allow full operation of all boonex ray suite and widgets, for a small monthly cost.

Many hosts (shared accounts) dont allow the ffmpeg for the simple reason of server load....when you buy that cheap bargin space they're expecting you to be making a straight forward website not start building the next youtube.

However there are hosts which allow the ffmpeg on shared hosting....but they will restrict you in another way when your site gets busy...but... this way is cheap and good for starting out from call it incubation for your site b4 you move it to vps or dedicated.

For shared low cost hosting that allows ffmpeg to run i recommend hostmonster

For VPS or dedicated i recommend HostV

For rms/red5 connections cyberxing

I have a VPS and FFMpeg is installed.  this is driving me nuts. 

did you try this code and upload it to dolphin root?....what was the output?...can you copy it here pls.

<?
echo "<br/><b>PHP INI settings</b><br/>";
echo "<br>safe mode = ".ini_get('safe_mode');
echo "<br>disabled functions = ".ini_get('disable_functions');
echo "<br>max execution time = ".ini_get('max_execution_time');
echo "<br>post_max_size = ".ini_get('post_max_size');
echo "<br>upload max filesize = ".ini_get('upload_max_filesize');

echo "<br/><br/><b>ffmpeg output</b><pre>";
$s = realpath("ray/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe");
echo `$s -version 2>&1`;
?>

Thank you for the fast reply...

Here's the output.

I just got this back from tech support and all is fine.

The upload script was triggering a mod security error in apache. I have whitelisted the domain from mod security in the apache configuration. This should solve the mod_sec errors that I was seeing.

Thanks for your help!

ok no problems there, after reading around a bit  i found that the 406 error is related to  mod_security on the server.

(be aware this may cause an error 500 so take it out if it does and reupload)

you'l have to open  .htaccess in your ray folder and insert this:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
				SecFilterEngine off
			 </IfModule>

Yey thats excellent news

hi kosmic, this post have something related about my problem?

i cant find a solution

Houseperu your problem is different to signalzero's.

Read this some useful info about ffmpeg on hostgator

you could ask them why they advertise they're cheaper hosting on the boonex site when they only support ffmpeg on a dedicated account... bit misleading, you could try for a refund and switch to hostmonster if you need cheap hosting with safe mode off and no php function restrictions.
