Topic: Max file size for config.xml? [SOLVED]

Is there a maxium file size for the config.xml?
By adding the latest pictures, the config.xml of my gallerie grew to >1.5 MB, and surfing to my website the script says "Config XML file not found".

And if there is a maximum file size - is there any workaround?

Thanks in advance for the answer,

Marco

Re: Max file size for config.xml? [SOLVED]

As far as I am aware, there is theoretically no maximum file size for the 'config.xml' file.
I have just created a sample gallery with a 'config.xml' file of over 2MB (equating to 8,500 images) and the gallery loads and functions fine, both locally and on a web server.

Try opening your gallery's 'config.xml' file directly in a browser to see if there is a syntax error which is causing the problem.
Otherwise, please post the URL to your gallery so that I can take a look for myself and hopefully help further.

Thanks for the quick response.

Then I guess it must be a server related problem - my website is hosted at 1&1 and I had problems with a NextGenGallery on a wordpress blog after reaching a certain size, too. The support told me it was kind of a "timeout" problem (as far as I understood it).
Maybe it's the same here?

With the latest version (1509,28KB) the gallery is running properly.

With the newest 14 pictures added I get this error message.

My gallery is at http://www.gelegenheitsknipser.de

Ouch ... I found it: While entering the captions I must have hit a  strange combination of keys and added a character that made the script stop reading the xml file at a certain point.

Removed the character and everything is fine again.

Now where's my "fool" sign? ;-)
