Cannot upload files greater than 2049KB.

Hi all,

Can anyone help... I cannot upload files greater than 2049KB.

There is no error message, the page just returns with "Select a file you wish to upload".

I have tried increasing the 'file_maxsize' parameter in the conf.inc.php file, but to no avail. It looks like this defaults to 20MB anyway...
// content values
//$phpwcms["file_maxsize"] = 20971520; //Bytes (50 x 1024 x 1024)
$phpwcms["file_maxsize"] = 52428800; //Bytes (50 x 1024 x 1024)

My config: HP-UX 11i, Apache 2.0.4.8, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.18

Apart from this problem, the installation and site creation has been very simple. An excellent product.

Thanks (in advance),

James

there is something in your php file (php.ini I think) and it limits you to how much you can upload via web browser, just use php take over and it should work fine.

A very fast and accurate response. Thank you very much.

I didn't consider checking the PHP config.

I changed the following parameter in the php.ini file to 20M...

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 20M

.. and restarted apache. I can now upload large files.

Thanks again,

James

perhaps you must also set up the max_execution_time to a higher level i think...
best regards
