Laravel 5.1 files larger than 1mb not uploading

Question

I've a site and CMS built on top of Laravel 5.1. The file images larger than 1mb are not being uploaded and gives me Error 500. But when I scale down the same image to 200kb or 400kb, it uploads without any issues. I've also updated the php.ini settings for upload_max_filesize = 70M, post_max_size = 100M and memory_limit = 32M

enable error reporting and paste error code `error_reporting(E_ALL);ini_set('display_errors', 'on');` — Mohammad Niknam, Apr 11 '16 at 08:13

Increase the memory limit to 64 MB or 128 MB from php.ini. I hope it will work for you.

And you can see laravel error at storage/logs/laravel.log.

Thanks ahossain for your help. I increased this to 128MB and it worked plus I also increased the timeout variables as well. – Usman Mahmood Apr 11 '16 at 08:52

I had the same problem. I updated memory_limit, post_max_size, max_execution_time etc.. but the problem was still persisting.

This answer resolved my issue: I am having a "The file could not be written to disk." error in ExpressionEngine with files 2MB and up

The issue was that the /tmp mount was only 1MB. Running command df -h will determine the size of your mount.

I had to unmount the /tmp by running command: sudo umount -l /tmp.

Than remounted it with 16MB by running command: sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=16485760,mode=1777 overflow /tmp.
