 * I’m not able to upload any file over 7k in size. Which means nothing larger than
   a icon image. I can work around this issue, but this is not a solution for my
   users.

 * Hello,
 * I’d request you to please increase the post_max_size & upload_limit to the concerned
   value which you wish to have.
 * It can be increased from the .htaccess or php.ini
    Hence, please do the needful
   🙂

 * A “localhost” installation is normally neither suitable, nor intended for use
   in a production environment.
 * More information will be needed if anyone is to offer any additional advice that
   might be helpful. What OS and what web-server software are you using, and are
   you using one server software as a proxy front-end for another? If so, the details
   please.

 * I’m running a current LAMP stack on Debian
 * I moved the installation to another box running the same Debian and LAMP stack
   and it works on that box. Why?
 * Who knows, there is absolutly no LOGGING around this issue. So all suggestion
   for a fix are nothing more than a scattergun approach.
 * I posted here to see if there were any better answers than what I found else 
   where, Guess Not.
