FileUpload : cannot upload file > 2M

chandan

I have download FileUpload Plugins (v1.5.2). When I try to upload file > 2M it shows "The uploaded file was too big (max 2M).". According to one of the suggestion on the forum, I checked the conf/config-defaults.php . I changed MaxFileSize to 500M. After this also the problem was not solved. Kindly suggest what else should be changed.

I think this grabs the setting from your php.ini file, some shared hosts will allow access to it.
Might be something like this

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M

; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 2M

Tama is right. Also, if your host uses Nginx for its web server, there should also be a setting called client_max_body_size which should be updated along with PHP's settings.

I grepped upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. I end up with following output

$grep -r upload_max_filesize
library/core/class.upload.php: $MaxFileSize = self::UnformatFileSize(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php: $FileMaxSize = Gdn_Upload::UnformatFileSize(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php: $MaxUploadSize = ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php: $MaxUploadSize = ini_get('upload_max_filesize');

$$ grep -r post_max_size
library/core/class.upload.php: $MaxPostSize = self::UnformatFileSize(ini_get('post_max_size'));
plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php: $PostMaxSize = Gdn_Upload::UnformatFileSize(ini_get('post_max_size'));
plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php: $PostMaxSize = ini_get('post_max_size');
plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php: //$PostMaxSize = ini_get('post_max_size');

Nowhere in vanilla the limit is forcibly defined.

My webserver has apache2 installed. I am very new to this. Kindly help.

@Tama - already told you.

the ini_get gets the php settings.

call your host and ask them if you can change php.ini file or if they can to increase maximum size for uploads.

Thanks Tama and Shadowdare. I located the php.ini and changed the setting.
