memory_limit = 128M

file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 500M
max_execution_time = 3600
max_input_time = 1700

and GODADDY.com tells me that should change it , but still when i try to upload a file thats 191 MB in size its telling me :
The uploaded file is too big. The file size may be maximum 86.29 MB.

I NOTICE RS_JELLE HAS FILES AS BIG 370MB , I almost passed out , being though it wont let me do bigger than 86 MB

I also seen somewhere that you have to restart your server or something for the difference to take place but GODADDY says though im on an unlimited plan , im also on a shared plan so they cant just restart the server .. what can i do please ?

also rs_jelle method to create a .htaccess file with the following and adjust the numbers :
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

that doesnt work for me cause once i drop that .htaccess into the root of my ftp , then it gives me a fatal error like the site wont load unless i take that out of there ................

found this on a google search to help explain it a little for you

Most of the web servers are configured such a way that a user can only upload the maximum file size of 2MB. So there might be the problem for the people who wants to upload the .zip files of size around 150MB.
increse the maximum upload file size limit by using .htaccess file.


upload such a large file using file field of the form and move_uploaded_file() function in PHP.

1) Create a .htaccess file in the root folder of web server.

2) Put the following code in side the .htaccess file and save it.

php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
php_value post_max_size 200M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
Now you can upload the file-size up-to 200MB in a simple way using file field in your html form and move_uploaded_file() function available in PHP. In the above .htaccess file, uploading capability is increased by the four parameter first one is maximum file size for uploading, second one is maximum size of the post data , third one is maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser and last one is maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to parse input data such as like file uploads, POST and GET data.

You can change the above parameter to upload the bigger file size than 200MB.
