Larger Picture Files will not upload

Hi jeffrenner,

Chances are that the php.ini file that your server uses to set PHP parameters has a limit on the maximum size upload that is allowed.

Upload the attached phpinfo file to your server, launch the file in your browser, and and in the results, search for file_uploads (should be set to ON), upload_max_filesize and post_max_size and see what values are there.

Many hosts allow you to change values in your php.ini file yourself if you ask them, or will change values for you.

You can safely change each of these values to 60M (60 megabytes) and hopefully that will solve your upload issues.

There's more on this topic in the SOLVING PHP FILE UPLOAD SIZE ISSUES recipe in my CMSB Cookbook www.thecmsbcookbook.com.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Jerrys suggestion is great, I would add that most hosting services do allow you to create or edit your own php.ini files, and that CMS Builder comes with a php.ini file in its base directory that you can edit. If you go to the root directory of your CMS Admin folder you should see a file called php.ini. If you add the following lines to the bottom of it, your upload limit should be increased:

file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 10M //needs to be in {x}M format

If you still can't upload files larger than 2mb then I would contact your hosting company and ask them about changing the limit.

Thanks!
