Upload limit too low
Page last modified by tdominey on June 13, 2008, at 06:49 AM

Depending on your PHP configuration, your server will limit the size of uploaded files. By default, PHP sets this to 2MB, which is much lower than desired when uploading albums of images. You can find what limit your server imposes by navigating to the Add an album page, and looking for the following text under Step 2: "NOTE: Your server limits the size of uploaded files to XXMB."

Note: If you cannot increase your upload limit settings, you can use FTP to upload larger files into your albums. See the content uploading and importing instructions for a how-to.

So, how do you increase this limit? Here are some options:

1) First, ask your host. They may have their own way of setting these limits system-wide, so it is a good idea to check with them first.

2) If you have access to php.ini, you will need to adjust 2 different directives: upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. Here is an example (this would allow a 50 MB upload):

upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 55M
Note: post_max_size should always be a bit larger than upload_max_size.

3) Some hosts may also allow you to set these limits in a .htaccess file like so:

php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 55M
