How Do I Increase The File Upload Size?

[printjuce]

I added an file upload option on the product,. small files go threw pefectly,. But when i upload larger files i get this error Warning: File was too large to upload!. How would i change the file upload size that could be permited?

i would guess edit upload.php but since i dont know much of php i dont know what to replace or edit..

My next Question, also how may specified the files that are allowed to upload? for example i would only allowed jpg,gif,png,cdr,pdf,zip,and tiff

so can anyone help me on this one?

How large was the file you are trying to upload?

Three things:
- Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values->File upload size
- PHP configuration: upload_max_filesize
- PHP configuration: post_max_size

For your PHP configuration, you will likely have to talk to your host to ensure that the values are large enough. You can check the current PHP configuration settings via Admin->Tools->Server Info

Is the upload size listed in "Configuration/Maximum Values/Maximum File Upload Size" in bytes? Default being "2048000"

I know, dumb question and the answer looks obvious. Just wanted to double check.

I am having difficult uploading a 4 meg file, even though I changed the admin settings as well as all these settings in both the php.ini and the .htaccess file...

php_value upload_max_filesize "100M"
php_value post_max_size "100M"
php_value memory_limit "16M"
php_value max_execution_time 1200


anyone know what could be going on?

I can tell you that most hosting companies have a cron task (I think cron is right) set up to re-write the file you probably edited to allow for larger uploads. I want to say that typical upload allowments are between 2MB and 8MB which isn't a lot.

Maybe post who you're hosting with and/or check for a php.ini file that can overwrite on a regular basis.

Sorry if you already knew all this stuff. I'm a beginner and this is one of the roadblocks I hit.

I am on a deticated Pentium 4 server, with Superb Hosting, I rechecked the php.ini, everything is still the way I left it.

switched all these settings in the php.ini

* file_uploads
* upload_max_filesize
* max_input_time
* memory_limit
* max_execution_time
* post_max_size

as well as the admin settings to let me upload 90 meg files and I can't upload 4-5 meg ones, any know what is going on, seems strange to me in my experience.
