Increase limit size of attachmets

[chris_psycho]

I would like to increase the limit size of attachments from 19.5 kb to higher (eg. 2 mb). May you help me.

Thank you!

have you tried: AdminCP / Attachment Manager

NOTE:

2 mb is the default size for most server
if you are on a shared hosting environment - I doubt it will be changed.

if you run your own server - you will need to look into the following

PHP:
max_execution_time
memory_limit
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

MySQL:
max_allowed_packet
max_packet_size
wait_timeout

You can see your PHP settings in your:

Admin CP / Maintenance / View PHP info

have you tried: AdminCP / Attachments / Extensions and Sizes

[Princeton]

Do you mean the total that user may upload? Usergroup Manager > select the usergroup to edit > Attachment Permissions > Space (in bytes) that a user.... if you set that to 0, then there is no limit.

It's zero, but there is a limit! :(

Any help??

What limit are you saying there is? A limit of space per user? Or the limit of the size of the attachment? I'm not following what you are saying. (Did you change any of the settings Princeton mentioned?)

[chris_psycho]

Yes...a limit of space per user! I did what Lynne said, but there is a limit at about 1,5 mb.

Thanks

[Lynne]

Are the users in any secondary usergroups?

[chris_psycho]

Yes they are...but administrator,also, cannot upload more than 1,5 mb!

[Lynne]

Check the limits on the secondary usergroups. If they have a value in that spot other than "0", then that will be the limit.

[chris_psycho]

No it's 0 too! :(

[Lynne]

Again I'll ask, did you change the settings Princeton mentioned? If you have a php/mysql setting set to limit the attachment size, then no matter what you do in vbulletin, you won't be able to increase the size limit.

I don't think that these settings are related. These settings influence only how big is the file that a user can upload (eg. no more than 2 mb.), not how much is the total limit of all the files that a user can upload ever.

[Lynne]

OK, check all these:
vboptions > Message Attachment Options
Attachments > Attachment Manager > check each type to see the size allowed
Attachments > Attachment Permissions > check to see if any of those are edited from default (in red)
Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > select usergroup > Attachment Permissions (check for *every* usergroup)


Those are the only places I can see, besides the php/mysql settings, that would limit the size/amount of the attachments.

Also, note this about the size:
Enter a byte value.

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1048576 bytes = 1 megabyte
