How can I make the attatchment size greater?

ACP -> [BOARD CONFIGURATION] -> [ATTACHMENT SETTINGS]

[antonio_424]

Hmm......well I changed that already once before.....

Well it gives me an error that the limit is still 2MB and that it is set in the php.ini file I guess...

Hmm.....anyone know where that specific file is lol

[code reader]

you want to have a file called phpinfo.php (well, the file name is not that important) which contains the following code:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

create this file, and load it to your browser. look for:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path
upload_max_filesize
and
post_max_size

it is a little odd tidbit of information that requires some digging in the documentation, but the maximum possible file upload size is the smaller of the two values: "upload_max_filesize", and "post_max_size", so you want to increase both of them.

note that after changing the values in php.ini, you will need to tell php to reload it. there are several ways of doing it, but maybe the simplest one is to restart the http server.
hope it helps.

Thanks for the help man!

What sucks is I probably won't raise it lol Too bad I can't change it using the forum ACP

some more digging:
the default value for post_max_size is 8M, the default for upload_max_filesize is 2M.
both of these values can be changed per directory, via .htaccess (providing that the global AllowOverride is on).
neither of them can be changed via ini_set() call.

And assuming you're using Apache....

You don't need to make a phpinfo() file, there's one in the ACP already. Can't remember where, but it's just a link you click.

The 2MB is an Apache limit, you would have to change it Apache side, if it won't allow you to change it via .htaccess

Some servers have different limits, for instance, I set mine just a tad higher to allow bigger download files to be uploaded.

[naderman]

No the 2MB limit is normally a limit set in php.ini, and not in the apache configuration.

You can change PHP settings via .htaccess if your apache has mod_php or mod_suphp installed.
