Author Topic: Zip archive size limit when uploading to Media?  (Read 779 times)

Hi,

I have been trying to upload zip archives to my media directory, and it seems there is a ~2Mb size limit on the archives I am able to upload.

Successful uploads result in a page displaying a message similar to '1 file(s) successfully uploaded'; where as files greater than ~2Mb result in a page displaying a message similar to '0 file(s) successfully uploaded.

I am wondering if this limit is the result of WB or the server itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as i really need to upload archives greater than 2Mb!

Kind regards,

Chris

It is a restriction of PHP.  It is set in PHP.INI:  upload_max_filesize = 2M
The 2MB-limit is default on any php installation. Some ISPs ingrease the value up to 4 / 8 MB... but this is their goodwill only....
HTTP (HyperTextTransferProtocoll) is designed to request websites.. but NOT as an other kind of FTP (FileTransferProtocol)

Many thanks DarkViper, I followed your lead and upped the max file size in .htaccess. Problem solved!

Once again, many thanks,

Chris
