How can I prevent large Apache/PHP file uploads from failing?

Question

I recently installed a PHP download portal on one of our servers. Everything is working fine, but users can't upload large files (~ 20 MB).

I set the following settings to extremely large values or unlimited:

memory_limit
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size
memory_limit

Full php.ini here: http://pastebin.com/NrqJvMVM

But it still fails after restarting the server.

Am I missing a setting? Do I have to update any values in the Apache configuration? Could a company firewall somehow interfere with that?

EDIT: I checked phpinfo() and the master configuration still shows the old values. The config file C:\Windows\php.ini however, has the new values. Am I using the wrong config file.

You can test the params in a script, too. Perhaps this helps:

1. max_execution_time = ini_set("max_execution_time", "-1");
2. post_max_size = ini_set("post_max_size", "200M");
3. memory_limit = ini_set("memory_limit", "200M");
4. upload_max_filesize = ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "200M");

In .htaccess:

php_value upload_max_filesize 200M

php_value memory_limit 256M

php_value max_execution_time 18000

Is Suhosin installed on your server or do you use fcgi ;-)?
