You must log in to post replies.Hi,
i think you have to change the settings in the .htaccess file of your installation, too:
# php 5, apache 1 and 2
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
# default memory limit to 64Mb
php_value memory_limit 64M
# to make sure register global is off
php_value register_globals 0
# max post size to 8Mb
php_value post_max_size 8388608
# upload size limit to 5Mb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
php_value upload_max_filesize 5242880 <--# Try to change this entry
# hide errors, enable only if debug enabled
php_value display_errors 0
</IfModule>
I think the file plugin needs a admin configuration panel to set allowed file types, quota per user and for images the maximum size and a resize on upload.
Hi guys,
I'm having the same issue. I want DJ's to be able to upload mixes to my website, so it must allow anywhere up to a 150mb upload. Where is the php.ini file? I'm using 1.6.1, and I have the update file plugin installed. I'm slightly new to this, but can do the work if pointed in the correct direction. My htaccess file has the following in it :
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# ugly ugly hack to detect missing mod_rewrite
# RedirectMatch must be to an absolute destination, so forces 500 error...
RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php
</IfModule>
# php 4, apache 1.x
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php
</IfModule>
# php 4, apache 2
<IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
