Trying to upload 13MB Flash Video
 

I tried to upload a 13MB Flash Video on my site asan attachment and I could not do it? It said I did not have permission even though I am the Administrator. Why would this happen?

Thanks,

Jeff

php max size upload
see your php info

yahoooh,

Where would I find this? I had changed the allowable attachment size in my vBulletin Admincp. I don't know how to work with php:( Is there a way I could embed the video to stream when somone opens up the thread?

Thanks,

Jeff

Why not upload via FTP and then simply place a link for members to download !?

TTG,

How about anyone else who wants to post a video link? How would I stream a video using vBulletin? Would it involve me having to write code somewhere?

Thanks in advance!!!

Go to admincp and click on "Maintenance" then "View PHP info" you'll need to look for "upload_max_filesize".
If it is under 13MB you will need to change your php.ini file.

Hope that help. :)

You need to edit your php.ini file. So it might look something like this.
post_max_size = 100M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 100M

Copy and paste that into php.ini if you don't have one just make it.

Edit: I didn't see your post there Nicky. :)

You might also need to adjust your apache configuration to allow POST bodies that large.

I've been through this loop recently with support. I wanted to upload wmv files of up to 85MB as attachments. Support assured me that this was not a practical proposition, PHP being the limiting factor.

So I'm searching for a solution to a similar problem. I want to protect files from direct download, so they are only available through the forums, in a series of thread starter messages. The files will need to be out of the webroot directory or in a directory with a .htaccess file, though I'm not quite sure this is the route to go.

So I'm looking for a mechanism for me only to be able to link to secured files from within the body of a message.

I'm a learner with PHP, but I wrote a small script that can call files from outside the webroot, but I wouldn't want to risk putting this into the body, and I'm not sure that's possible anyway.

Thank you all. Would I edit the php.ini with a notepad? Is it best to host videos on my server or should I allow people to just post a link to their video keeping large files off my server?

Thanks in advance!!!

That's up to you on how and where you want the videos, if you have the room, space and resources then let them store it there on your server :)
