Error saving 'EXAMPLE.pdf', file wasn't uploaded properly.

Hi Mowbray, welcome aboard!

If you're only getting the error sometimes then you're probably hitting a upload limit imposed by PHP. Go to Admin > General Settings > PHP Info (link at the bottom of the page) and search for "upload_max_filesize".

Can you check what that value is set to?

Thanks for the speedy reply.

That definitely looks to be the problem.

It's set to 2M which is a little low for the things I need to upload.

Can you point me to some instructions on how to change this? or is it something I have to take up with my hosting provider?

-M.

Depending on your hosting provider, sometimes you can add something to a .htaccess file or they'll have a php.ini you can edit. But if neither of those options are available, or you're not sure about their setup, the fastest would be to contact them directly.

If you want to give it a try, just create a file called .htaccess with the following contents and upload it to your /cmsAdmin/ folder (where admin.php is).

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M

If that doesn't work (or you don't want to mess around with it) I'd just ask your host.

Hope that helps, anything else you need - just let us know!
