Hello all, I am currently renting some hosting space from godaddy.com on a windows server. Not sure which apache version, but php5. I contacted them due to my inability to upload any files greater than 8 MB and they said "Just upload a php5.ini in the root directory, good luck!" So , since everything else on the site is working perfectly, I would greatly appreciate if someone could show me how to make it just do that(if at all possible). I believe its a upload_max_filesize command but im sure there needs to be other commands. My unexperience attempts seem to just render the site inoperative as soon as i upload it. Thanks in advance
ini_set("post_max_size", "64M"); ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "64M"); ini_set("memory_limit", -1 ); PHP: place it in top of the code.
Well that did not seem to work either, as it went blank again. Here is the exact contents of the php5.ini file that I have uploaded to my server root directory: ini_set("post_max_size", "64M"); ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "64M"); ini_set("memory_limit", -1 ); upload_max_filesize = 64M Thanks for your help in advance.
Well here is the trick, I am using smf forums with the Download System mod. I have been in contact with the creator of this mod and others that use this mod. They say there is to be ZERO modifications to the mod or the forums themselves. Those that had the problem said they were able to increase their upload limit by adding a php.ini to the root directory. However none can/will explain exactly how to pull this off. I am running out of options at this point.
You should really use google. Took me two minutes to find out what you need to do. It's on the godaddy forums suprisingly http://community.godaddy.com/groups/web-hosting/forum/topic/increase-file-size-for-php-uploads All I searched for was "godaddy increase post size php5" and that was the first result. If you don't know how to make a file in your root directory then you have a lot to learn about the world of website development
Firstly, I made it blatantly clear above that i was new at this, read the whole thread next time. Secondly, How would I know to search for POST MAX when i was asking about Upload MAX filesize. <.< Thirdly, If you actually read what u posted and added a little thought, you would have realized I already tried that previously, as I clearly stated above. Nice shot from the hip. At this point, forget it. I refuse to return to a forum full of complete idiots. I will simply seek help from a site that has members that leave more than one lined, incomplete sentences as "help". Good luck dealing with yourselves. ^.^
For someone with such incompetence you have an amazingly high opinion of yourself to call those who have given you the answer "idiots". I know you are new to this, but you shouldn't be doing things like this without doing what the rest of us have - learning and research. As for not coming back to the forums, thats your call, but it's not like anyone will lose sleep over it, as you clearly have no useful input for anyone else
