Upload Problem

[dmknights]

Ive been uploading attachments today without a problem (all under 1MB) however for the past hour ive been trying to upload 1 file that is just under 4MB but it wont upload

Why is that?

[srkrocks]

does it give you any error? and have you altered the upload size allowed by your script at admin panel?

[dmknights]

obviously it needs to be altered in the admin panel - which ive already done.

when i goto post & click manage attachments, i can upload anything upto 2mb, anything above that.......... it just returns to the manage attachments page, doesnt give an error

ok go to your forum root or your website root via cpanel and open a file called php.ini and insert the following in it

memory_limit=16M

then save it and try uploading files now and let me know if its ok!

my php.ini has the following code:

php_flag suhosin.cookie.encrypt = Off
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars = 2048
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars = 2048

where about do i put that memory limit?

[srkrocks]

add the code I gave underneath it!

[dmknights]

done that, still the same

change your post max value in php.ini to whatever size you need it represented in bytes.. change it 5000 or something like that of your choice and upload and get back once again!

php_flag suhosin.cookie.encrypt = Off
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars = 5120
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars = 5120

this is for 5 MB

regards

This should do the trick or you will need to open

My.ini and

add this

set-variable = max_allowed_packet=xM

x represents the MB file size

mm this thing seems to be tricky!

add this line to php.ini

upload_max_filesize = 5M

if it still doesn't work.. let me know let me do some research on this issue!

if it still does not work

add this line to your .htaccess

php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
php_value post_max_size 5M
