I'm not sure that it is related but we upgraded from 2.17.3 to 2.17.4 recently
and this has not happened before with the same people making the same types of
PDFs. We use PDFs quite often in our bugzilla instance.

We get an Apache server error 500, and the error log, after doing:
tail -f error.log | strings reveals the following:

Expected Results:  
Successfully Created attachment # whatever.

I am going to try to attach this "specific file", but I may have to put it on a
public server somewhere or just email it to people cause I bet it won't attach
on this bug. I'm not sure if it will or not since I thinkg b.m.o is still on
2.17.3... we'll see.

Comment 1

[Vaskin Kissoyan]

we think this is related to size of the file.

I have parameters set to allow about 10MB of files, but the upgrade from 2.17.3
to 2.17.4 required a MySQL upgrade which somehow I bet changed or lost the
parameter that needs to be set in MySQL for allowing such large blobs.

/etc/my.cnf:

set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M

This is the max for MySQL 3.x, change the # of MB as you see fit.

Still, I don't think bugzilla should crap-out like that, it should detect the
MySQL configuration.

Comment 3

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Are you still seeing this?  I'm almost positive this happens when your
maxattachmentsize param in editparams.cgi is set larger than your max packet
size in the MySQL config.  Make sure the Bugzilla parameter is smaller than the
MySQL one.  I'll assume that was the case and close this in a week if I don't
hear anything further.

yes that was the issue. I'm sorry I didn't close this sooner.
