This is directory where PHP stores temporary files while uploading. - Check open_basedir in php.ini. If defined it limits PHP read/write rights to specified path and its subdirectories. Ensure that upload_tmp_dir is inside this path. - Check post_max_size in php.ini. If you want to upload 20 Mbyte files, try something a little bigger, like post_max_size = 21M. This defines largest size of POST message which you are probably using during upload. - Check upload_max_filesize in php.ini. This specifies biggest file that can be uploaded. - Check memory_limit in php.ini. That’s the maximum amount of memory a script may consume. It’s quite obvious that it can’t be lower than upload size (to be honest I’m not quite sure about it-PHP is probably buffering while copying temporary files). * Thread Starter [Hyrules](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hyrules/) * (@hyrules) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/batch-upload-3/#post-8338860) * upload_max_filesize = 100M post_max_size = 100M memory_limit = 512M * upload_tmp_dir and open_basedir I have no control upon since i’m in a cpanel environment. * The file i’m trying to upload is 5mb * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/batch-upload-3/#post-8338879) * if you want to do a test you can try this, open the file mdocs-batch-upload.php and change starting at line 10: * ``` if(isset($_FILES['mdocs-batch']) && strpos($_FILES['mdocs-batch']['type'],'zip') == false) { $string = '

Your server does not recognize zip files. * The MIME types “text/plain” and “application/octet-stream” are termed ambiguous because they generally do not provide clear indications of which application or CLSID should be associated as the content handler… * …and defaulting to the final determined MIME type of “application/octet-stream.” Other types of files, such as .reg files, behave similarly. * What type of server are you running?
