changing max filesize size default of 20 megs

Permalink
Upload file(s) has a default max size of 20 Megs. I have one large video to upload. Any way I can increase that?

You'll need to upload your files by ftp to 'public_html/files/incoming'. Then go to the Concrete5 file manager>> upload multiple>> add from incoming.

Let me know if that helps.

I see. Of course. It's a web restriction, not a system restriction.

Thanks.

"...upload files by ftp to 'public_html/files/incoming'..."

Strange. That folder does not exist.

What's strange is that the 'upload files > incoming' tab automatically points to that location. You do not get point it anywhere else.

I will try creating the folder manually and see if that helps.

It does not. Concrete5 sees no files in that folder.

Trying to reach it via 'add remote files' does not yield anything either.

Another option would be to increase the upload limit in your php.ini file:http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size...

Well, it has been determined that the best solution is: wtf are we doing posting a 135Mb video on our site!?

We have an 8Mb version made for youTube that will do just fine.

Problem goes away!

if you are running php 5.3, it is a lot easier to do this than 5.2.

in your home directory, you need to make the following folders:
$ mkdir -p ~/.php/5.3

then inside the 5.3 folder, create a phprc file:
$ cd ~/.php/5.3
$ vim phprc


or whichever editor of choice.

inside the phprc file, just add the variables to override. so if you want up the file size upload, you would put the following into the phprc file:
upload_max_filesize = 20M;
post_max_size = 20M;


i believe once you save this, you should be able to see the php settings changed.
