Uploading video - version 5.6.3.5
Permalink
Hi!
I have been managing my website with Concrete 5 for several years - and I love it, but today I tried to upload a video (mp4) with 109,000kb and it just keeps trying to upload it without any end in sight. I do not get an error message, but neither does the program upload the file. I have two questions: 1 - Does this version have an upload limit for videos and, if so, is it possible to increase it; and, 2 - Is it possible to update to the latest C5 version without having to rebuilt from scratch?
Thank you for your help,
Beachgirl

concrete5 doesn't have any limit on the size but PHP on your server does. That might be what's happening.
Here's an easy explanation of what to do:https://stackoverflow.com/a/2184541/2276853...
Assuming you're using concrete5 v8, on the concrete5 side, you only have to make sure the mp4 extension is allowed. It is allowed by default so that shouldn't be the problem. But if you want to check navigate to your dashboard's page /dashboard/system/files/filetypes
If you're using concrete5 v8 you can also update it any time without having to rebuild from scratch.
If you're still using the 5.6 version then only worry about your PHP settings.
