Like Jelle has said already, you need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

Is there a maximum that we can upload?

I have a few videos that I'll be uploading that are over 100mb.. Would this cope?

That's a sign that the PHP code works, but normally after the plugins (add-on) are finished there's a final redirect after uploading.

Are you on PHP Safe Mode (just to be sure, normally DownloadsII gives you an information bar about that if you need to do any extra steps because of that)?
Can you find any of the uploaded files in the downloads folder on your forums FTP? What's their chmod?

We are just using the default upload PHP functions, so I'm not sure what goes wrong on your site :confused:

Just add the .htaccess file like CyberRanger says and change the 30 to the maximum amount of MB's you need. This overwrites the PHP upload limitation from the php.ini configuration file. You can also see your "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" on the home of your AdminCP.

Thanks guys

Worked like a charm

Thanks for your help, I done what you suggested and it appears that the Create a Thread is causing the trouble, as with it disabled it redirects to the newly created File but obviously doesn't create a new thread.

So the White Page Issue is fixed... to a degree. Cheers

bummer, I haven't looked at that add-on in a year or so. Looks like I need to maybe update it!

I'm trying hard to increase the upload limit with this great add-on, but I keep on running into brick walls.

I can't use the .htaccess file as mentioned above, because my host won't allow it for security reasons? The file gets edited out with #'s and a statement that it's not allowed. Tried to do updated php.ini files everywhere, with no success. Tried looking in the forums config file in the includes folder, no success.

Some threads say to restart the apache server, but I don't have direct access to that since it's a simple hosting plan.

I'm not sure if you guys could suggest any other ideas, but they would be appreciated. Other than the limit I want to increase, this add-on is really great! Really good work. Thanks !

I don't understand why they are blocking .htaccess files also. Your host is pretty strict :D
If that method isn't allowed, you also won't have any (virtual) php.ini access also and there are no other methods. The only thing you can do is contacting your host and ask why they aren't allowing it as it's not a normal security measure a lot of hosts are using.

this 2 website use this hack and remove the copyright :

is it normal that the files dupicates itself into a tmp folder? because with a 500kb files it's ok but with a 2gb :S
