Okay, I have a script I use to manage a site. It creates the directories and uploads/deletes/moves the files. The problem I'm having is that it won't allow an upload over 3MB. Since files that large are rare, it should be trivial to upload the file manually. However, because the directories are created by the php script, I can't write to the them. cPanel's File Manager won't allow me to change the directory's permissions, either. I tried writing a script that moved the manually uploaded file, but the permissions on the file won't allow the script to move it. Changing permissions in File Manager didn't help.

So, to make this easier in the future, how do I fix it to allow larger uploads, preferably up to 15MB(that's the max the script will allow)? My server is Sonet, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance...

Have you checked the php.ini for the the limit there?

Mgk, the php.ini didn't work(tried it in both the script directory and public_html). However, your suggestion turned me on to another thread that dealt with setting the values through .htaccess. I tried that and now everything works fine.

Thanks for the help!

Some servers may still be using htaccess rather than php.ini. Thanks for mentioning what worked and what didn't.

Can you elaborate what did you do in .htaccess to get the upload working?

I'd assume changing the max_upload_size

Also- notice that your php is running as nobody(99) so this means you're not running phpsuexec either. I'd contact support- cause the files you're uploading are vulnerable to other scripts running a muck
