Title: Attachment error
Post by: Theforeshadower on April 13, 2010, 02:54:24 am: I just tried to upload two small gifs into an attachment and I get this error:
An Error Has Occurred!
Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

Please consult your server administrator for more information.

Post by: 4Sword on April 13, 2010, 03:04:40 am: I might be because you using a free image uploader site would save us space on our server, or because the disk space usage on the server currently is filled up to its maximum 5000 MB. It's actually probably the second one I said, I just checked it and that's what it shows. This can be rectified by deleting an old backup; I'll send Windy a PM because I am bad with server stuff.

Ditto. XD I kind of expected this to happen for some reason. Does it just limate the room for attachments? or more?

Post by: Mirby on April 13, 2010, 04:01:34 am: No, as 4Sword said, it's because there is so much stuff uploaded to the server it is now full. When the server is full, nothing more can be uploaded. It doesn't have to do with attachment space or anything... 5000 MB is the space allotted on the server, and 5000 MB is how much stuff is on the server. That simple.

In lamens terms, the server is full.

That basically it?

Post by: 4Sword on April 13, 2010, 07:03:26 am: I deleted an old Java assignment I had uploaded to the site for school (very small) and also deleted all of the video files of the old Super Smash Bros Brawl tournament (very large apparently) after saving them to my computer. 5000 MB -> 2632.95 MB, unless another administrator deleted something else; I was kind of shocked that the deletion I did took out as much as it did in terms of disk space usage.

I'll go through the server this next weekend and remove what is unnecessary, backing it up on an external hard-drive I got. Otherwise I think the attachment errors should be solved now; although as I said in my earlier post, there are free image uploaders out there, so using them helps save us some disk space.

Post by: Mirby on April 13, 2010, 07:06:16 am: I never attach anything here; everything I upload is external. The only exceptions are the things I uploaded back in '08.

Post by: 4Sword on April 13, 2010, 07:12:55 am: I do kind of the opposite in that some of what should be stored here for events and stuff is uploaded to Photobucket. Anyway, discussion about that doesn't have to continue. Because what I did seems like it did so much, I'll assume I !@#$% up somewhere; if anyone notices an abnormal chunk of something missing let me know.
