Hello,

I have a little problem with useruploads.

In the configuration I have as accepteble files everything standard, including PDF.
Max upload is unlimited.
When a user wants to upload a little pdf file then he get the message "SERVICE UNAVAILEBLE"

When he upload ( for a test ) an image from 3MB, then there is no problem.

What can i do to let it accepted PDF-files.

I'm using Joomla 2.5.28 and the latest version of Phocadowload.

Hi, what size is the PDF

- the limit of upload can be set in your server settings too.
- the next problem can be a mime type - you can test if the pdf is set in allowed list (as default it is) :idea:

I had a similar problem. Turns out that the Word Doc title ended with a fullstop. Once converted to pdf the filename became filetitlehere..pdf

The two .. before the extension type screws the system.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers
