File uploads hang, stuck at percentage

  • Hi,

    For some reason when I try to upload a file though wordpress, the progress indicator gets stuck at a certain percentage and doesn’t continue.

    PHP runs as PHP7-FPM, with the following settings:

    post_max_size = 32M
    upload_max_filesize = 32M

    For some reason the file upload just doesn’t complete? This happens with small files (~256kb) and larger ones (~4mb). Tiny ones (~20kb) seem to be doing okay.

    No messages in error.log. The problem occurs on both versions of the uploader.

    Any thoughts?

  • Same thing happens to me intermittently. In my case it’s a theme thing. I have to temporarily switch to default 20XX theme, do my uploads, then switch back to my preferred theme. Kind of a pain but works for me. Others have reported plugins causing this same symptom.

    Interesting plot twist: everything works fine when I run PHP as mod_php in apache. As soon as I switch back to PHP-FPM, it stops working again.

    This kind of sucks though, as PHP-FPM is the preferred way to do it (faster, more scaleable)

    Edit: I switched themes, but no dice. Gues I’m stuck running mod_php for now.
