changing Upload size?

[Invasion]

Hi guys and gals

Firstly let me say I'm very impressed with the service I have recieved from JaguarPC and will not have any problems recommending them to friends.

Right down to business, Could someone advise me on how I could change the file size that is allowed to be upload through php/html from the standard 2meg (i think) to a max of 5 meg.

I set the file size allowed to uploaded to 5 meg on my site core settings, but im still only allowed 2 meg.

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards
Peter

Add these lines to your .htaccess file

php_value post_max_size 6M
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M

Ok, now how do we do this on one of your servers running php as cgi? I know it needs to go in a php.ini, but the syntax has to be different. Also, I'm actually unsure where I need to place php.ini files on a phpbb site.

I haven't done it, but I think you just drop the "php_value" part.

Again, I haven't done this, but from the description, you'll need to get a copy of the master php.ini file and add those lines to it, and put it into the directories where you have php code. In a standard php install that would be at least /phpBB/ ; I don't know if you'll need to add it to the includes directory and/or the admin directory, etc., etc.

Since you're trying to allow large uploads, I'd guess you've installed an attachemnt mod of some sort. The php.ini file will probably have to go in the directory where the code is that contains the attachment mod. Again, that's probably your root directory.

You get to be the one who tells us where it needs to go!
Let us know!
