2. exist a hack which allows to upload files bigger than 2 MB and also with the ending .mp3, .mpg, ....

Thank You and sry 4 my bad englisch

1. I don't think it exists but not sure, if not maybe someone will create it for you.

2. This is not a mod, it's a setting in your php.ini file that you have to change, the default it 2 MB. Look for upload_max_filesize and change it to a higher number.

Where can i find the php.ini?

[ericgtr]

Do you have root access to your server? If not you will have to ask your host to do it for you, it requires manually editing the file on your server.

[arek]

I have access to the server

[ericgtr]

It's in /usr/local/lib if you have pico installed you can change to that directory and type in:
pico php.ini
to edit it.

I can not find the /usr/local/lib and what is pico? Sry im a newbie

hello?

[ericgtr]

Okay, here is a basic how to with this. It's the best I can explain so if you need more help you may need to google it. Also, this assumes you have pico installed on your server, it usually is.

Access the server using Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) or your favorite command line program.

Login as root

Type in: cd /usr/local/lib to get to the proper directory

Now type in: pico php.ini and it will open up php.ini

Do a ctrl w to bring up the search

Type in upload_max_filesize and hit enter, this will take you to the line you need to edit

Change the number "2" to whatever you want in MegaBytes

When you are done hit ctrl x and hit the y button to save the buffer.

That's it :)

The first request is a slight alteration of the Lockdown hack, a hack that not many people would agree to use/code ;)

I'm not sure if the vB.org policy on the Lockdown hack has changed or not, but many coders would not code something like this for you...

I think its allowed now (I think). I believe you can find it on vbhacks.us but it might be a hack you'll have to pay for - im not sure.

[arek]

Hm, Can nobody code it for me? If i was a coder i will do it for me self but im not a coder :(

I think i have no rootaccess only normal access can i changed it also without rootaccess?

What if you don't have pico? Is pico easy to install?

nevermind I opened the php ini file and manaully edited it to 10m
