Upload time

I get following error message :
“Upload failed! The duration of the upload exceeded the time limit of the server….The upload time limit of PHP directive max_input_time is preventing the upload of big files. PHP directive max_input_time limit is: -1 seconds. To increase the limit change the value of the directive from php.ini. If you don’t have access to php.ini, then add the following line to your .htaccess file: php_value max_input_time 500”
Limit time is -1 seconds ! Does this mean infinite time ? If yes the problem is elsewhere.
I don’t have access to php.ini and modifying .htaccess was not successfull (crashed the site). I tried changing post method of WFUP using cURL or sockets instead of fopen. Also tried ftp upload in advanced settings of WFUP. But same problem…
Any idea ?

Thanks

I have tried different files : it seems that I am only allowed for a 300s max upload time.
I tried ftp method but had problems with paths.
Finally I also tried the option “Upload Big Files in Chunks : On” and it works !
Even for files as small as 30MB ( I thought that this option was for really large files).
