The upgrade instruction says delete okapi core yet with that gone I get an error. If I want to continue using my pages don't I still need the OkapiCore (I put it back and it works) With Okapi gone as assume I have to delete the none pangolin pages. This bit need a little more claification

actually, the instruction say to remove and re-upload

1. Remove and re-upload the following files and directories:

    backlight/config.php
    backlight/env.php.skel
    backlight/admin/
    backlight/designer/
    backlight/framework/
    backlight/publisher/
    backlight/modules/module-pages
    backlight/modules/okapi-core

Don't delete your Okapi pages, at least not until you're ready to switch the page templates to one you've created with the new Pangolin design.

That would explain it.  The feature was deprecated in 5.3 and removed in 5.4.  So it's only 5.3 that should raise the error.

I strongly advise to upgrade your version of PHP.  5.3.3 came out in 2010.  You're likely missing a bunch of security fixes that have come out since that time.

The file was sent as RAR causing the email to be filed as spam.

As suspected, this is an issue with the file sizes.  The underlying errors are:

POST Content-Length of 12690588 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes
POST Content-Length of 8951731 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes
POST Content-Length of 10548300 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes
POST Content-Length of 10548299 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes

Translated: the files of 10-12MB exceed the maximum upload limit of 8MB.

I suggest asking your host to increase both post_max_size and upload_max_filesize.  To check the current values of these, log into Backlight, click on View PHP Info under Special Links, and look for those entries.

Hi Mark, since that didn't help, can you email me the file ttg.log, found under the Documents directory on your PC?  If the file is large, then please zip it.

Oh. So you want the images to publish at a higher resolution (pixel dimension) than what is currently allowed in the Backlight templates? Currently, the limit in the template Image Settings> Photos for Download: Create custom download rendition via Publisher is 9999px for width and height. You need it larger than that?

Jpg file size is not just a matter of pixel dimension. The quality setting makes a difference. Image content makes a difference.
A jpg with a lot a blank blue sky will result in a smaller file size than a jpg with the same pixel dimension but with a lot of different colors.

We're these images previously published before you changed the template settings?
If so, republish the mages

Your publish collections are a part of your Lightroom catalog, so should exist in your catalog backup. So long as your catalog backup is up-to-date, there is no need to backup publish services separately.
