Sorry, here is what is happening. If, in FireFox 1.5, I login to the
control panel, and I try to upload a small jpeg image, 234k, it uploads
without a problem. If, on the other hand, I try to upload an 8 meg PDS
file, I instantly (no attempt at upload) get this FireFox message:

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try
again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.



In Internet Explorer, uploading the small file is no trouble, but
uploading the big one gives me this:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site
might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust
your browser settings.




Following the advice of others on this thread we (or rather, Matt
Clark, our Linux guy) have edited the php.ini file to allow 50 meg
uploads. We also looked through the config file for Apache and saw
nothing there that might have limited uploads. But the problem
persists.

I'm not sure, but I don't think I have access to the errors on the
server. I'm sure Matt does though, so I'll ask him to send me these
logs.
