Strange file upload problem

I have Googled the crap out of this problem and I cannot find a
solution anywhere. Hopefully someone will be able to help me out with
it. I have a RH8 server running Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.0.2 that
refuses to process HTTP file uploads of JPG files from a digital
camera. It always returns with an error 3 (incomplete file) in the
["userfile"] array. The array contains the correct file name in the
["name"] field but the ["error"] field contains 3 and the ["size"]
field contains 0. The file is obviously being uploaded from my browser
to the server because of the delay after hitting the submit button,
plus the $_FILES array does have the file name in it.

I have tried the following steps to correct this issue:


1) Checked and rechecked httpd.conf settings including subordinate
php.config file (which does not exist in my install)

2) Checked php.ini settings. File uploading is turned on and max file
size is set to 8M

3) Checked permissions on the /tmp folder to make sure that they are
set to 0777

4) Checked the error logs and they contain the usual batch of
favicon.ico errors and startup and shutdown messages but no errors
coming from the scripts that are doing the file requesting or
processing.

5) Set the MAX_FILE_SIZE on the form to an appropriately large value.

5) Checked the error logging to ensure that it is turned on and set to
ALL.

I am going crazy here because all of this worked fine on the last
server that these scripts were installed on. Any help or suggestions
would be appreciated.

Thank you

Dave Holden

Well, this may not be a great help, but I switched back to Apache 1 when
trying to get POSTGRESQL and PHP running on Debian.
:-/
Worked like a charm. ;-)
Apache 2 gave me a headache.
