    • problem, my file galleri does not accept large files

    Posted by KaiiaK posts: 82 Norway

    😢
    I first had the setting "Use database to store files:", but then I learned that has file size limitations. Then I deleted it all, and created a new File Galleries, with "Use a directory to store files.
    I finally managed to create a Directory path: /home/gilbcom/public_html/community/files/
    that worked for a small file, then I tried a larger file, no luck, an error message says the file is too big. It has also said, there is no data in the file??

    In particular I need to upload pdf files at 1 to 17 MB

    http://www.gilb.com/community/

    Help would be much appreciated.

    I sent a message to my web host for help, they responded:

    We can not change the global value for you. You are welcome to place a php.ini with any settings you wish in the scripts directory. This will override the global settings.

    I need help creating such a php.ini file. Could someone send me such a file with settings that allow for uploading files without size restrictions, real need is max 20MB.

    I would appreciate your help.

    I found this example, does it look reasonable? Can I just upload it? Where do I place it?

    Thanks

    1. Override PHP.ini variables:

    1. If you are using Apache 2, you have to use
    2. instead of .


    php_value max_execution_time 600
    php_value upload_max_filesize "25M"
    php_value memory_limit "24M"

    1. Not sure what these should be, but they were recommended. They are timeouts in seconds and seem arbitrarily large.


    php_value session.cache_expire 200000
    php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 200000
    php_value session.cookie_lifetime 2000000
