uploading file

skyhigh007 · November 9th, 2009, 5:29 PM

Hi

Why is it that you can upload large files when you are using FTP, but you cant upload large file size beyond the max when you are using browser to upload ?

Uploads with the browser are limited by the max upload size in the php.ini

This can be changed for your script, send us a ticket with the location of the script and how big you need the limit to be

is it possible to change the value in a custom php.ini and have it fix the problem?

Yes, you can create a php.ini file with the following:
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 20M

That file will need to be placed in the directory of the script requiring the setting.

But it's good to use the existing php.ini for the server and modify the settings you need. We can place a copy of it in your account if you need. Just send in a ticket

Can the script timeout be set locally or does that need to be requested? I believe right now the server is set at 30sec?

Yes, you can do that with the following lines (in seconds):

max_input_time=120
max_execution_time=120
