How to change upload file size etc.

weiseren 11 Nov, 2010
Hello

I am having problems changing the file size upload.

I have looked at the php info in the backend which is set to:

upload_max_filesize 2M
max_execution_time 30 (is this seconds - what is ideal here???)


I was told by my hosting company that i had to put a php.ini file in the folder where the uploads were happening but that has not done the trick.

Hi Kasper,

These are all site settings. The ideal values are the maximum that your hosting company will allow. The max_execution_time of 30 seconds shouldn't be a problem unless you try to do some intensive processing like exporting a large or complex Excel file.

The php.ini file can be in several locations - your hosting company help file should tell you what you need to change.

Thx for the reply.

Yup it was the hosting company and they have just told me to add the php.ini file to the folder where the uploads are happening. Looks like it is working now, so ill cross my fingers!
