That's because of the default upload limit of PHP.

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M

php_value post_max_size 30M

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.

does it have to have certain rights?... chmod?

i made it 60MB and it still doesnt upload :(

No, just the standard chmod rights (readable). Watch out for the strange file name, maybe you wrote it wrong. And it needs to be uploaded in the vB forum root (where you can find downloads.php), not in the downloads folder. That's it.

Although webhosts can disable the .htaccess method, so you better contact your webhosting company.

K, i asked the serverdude to edit the uploadable size to 64MB.

Quote:

upload_max_filesize 64M 64M

So i should be able to upload now right?

Yup.... still no go :(
It just says "waiting for www.glcoti.com......." and the progress/load bar stays empty.

Any ideas??
Need me to post some code?

Thanks for this mod, excellent!

I'm trying to increase the upload limit (yawn you think).

I've tried everything that's been suggested. If I put the 2 lines in the /forums/.htaccess file I get an error like in this thread. If I comment out the lines it works again.

I've checked my shared server logs and this is the error that's generated...

Code:

[Thu Feb 21 09:53:41 2008] [alert] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/forums/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Any help is appreciated. :)

Thanks

Invalid command 'php_value',

This notice already says enough, your webhost does not allow you to use this setting in a .htacces file. You have to contact your host to increase the max file uploadsize.

You also need to set post_max_size next to upload_max_filesize ;)

You can view those server settings in your AdminCP index: "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size".
