hello guys,
I need help with my .htaccess, i want my upload_max_filesize to be 300MB but its just not working with the following:

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
upload_max_filesize          300M
</IfModule>

but that is not doing the trick, anyway i think one problem might be that things are run through cgi instead of as a module....i'm a bit useless with .htaccess so could someone please help me

Thanks Nick

Try ..

php_value max_file_upload 300M
php_value max_execution_time 800
php_value upload_max_filesize 300M
php_value post_max_size 300M

You might be running into the limitations of your host. I think mine is about 20 MB, 1and1.com.
check your host's docs.

Also, try without the 

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
...
</IfModule>

(that's telling it to only run that command, if you have mod_php5.c)

...hope that helps.

would be ironic if that is the case because the reason most people choose them (dreamhost) is for their massive disk space 200GB

one last question before i go ploughing, does a .htaccess file overide a custom php.ini or the otherway round?

I've managed to figure it out, .htaccess files with php_values did not work at all for me (think that dreamhost has disabled it or something but never asked). Anyway, i had to go the custom php.ini route, the first time i tried (long before this thread) i came across faulty instructions which bombed out. Now I tried again with a new set of instructions and managed get everything working (albeit there were some errors in the instructions but i have corrected them now). The instructions on how to create a custom php.ini should work on any host so give them a shot if you are trying to do the same thing. I'll see if I can add them to drupals docs but for now here is the link to the custom php.ini instructions
