in general the file upload plugin works well.
until i upload a .pptx file (18MB), file upload size is set to unlimited, after the upload proceeds, i get the message: Error 105 - Invalid file type. see attachment.
how can i solve the problem?

why do you have images listed in other file types??? just slows it down...
are you sure the case of the file is right? .pptx is not same as .PPTX

This might be as simple as the maximum upload file size that your php setup will allow. It is not always easy to collect an error in php that was generated in Javascript so the error message may be a misinterpretation.
You host will have imposed a limit to the size of any single file upload. Typically this is 2 MB. So I would suggest you start by checking on that and, if you need it increasing, then ask them if this is permissible.
You need to be aware also that if you are putting up an 18MB file that your users can then download they will be eating away at your bandwidth every time they do so as well as consuming server resources during the process.

in general i agree with you, in this case we deal with files in this size for a small group of users.
the servers php memory limit is set to 90MB, the memory limit in wp-config.php is also 90MB.
any ideas?
thx

I was referring to the upload file size not the php memory size.
Did you see Mr Papa's point about case?

yes, i did read mr. papas post and removed the image file types and also added PPTX as a uploadable filetype.
the upload_max_filesize on the server is 40M
but still the same error message: xxx.pptx: Error 105 - Invalid file type
any idea?

well, not sure what might be going south... I dont think its a file size upload... the error is only thrown when the uploaded file extension does not match an allowed extension... so unless the whole filename gets dorked on upload, not sure...
next step would be to check the temp php upload directory and see if the file is getting uploaded and if filename is intact...

sorry, i'm not an expert with this. how can i find and access the temp php upload directory?

you would need ssh (ie root access) access to your server... certainly get with dedicated server or vps and the decent shared hosting folks... would have to look into your php.ini to find exact location, but typically, its /tmp
