Hmm, my first inclination was to suspect the LimitRequestBody, since
by default it's distributed with Red Hat 9 with a limit of 512K.  But you've
already taken care of that.  Just to verify...did you restart the httpd 
service after changing the LimitRequestBody?  I often forget that step.

I'm not terribly familiar with https: to know if it'd be a problem, but
can you try the upload feature using normal http: to perhaps eliminate 
that as a problem?  Also make sure that "SSLOptions +StdEnvVars" is set
for .php files or for the directory containing your wiki installation.

If you set $UploadMaxSize to 1000000, it's not necessary to set the
sizes for the individual extensions unless they are different from
$UploadMaxSize.
