I am trying to upload large files to my Drupal 4.5.0 site, typically PowerPoint slideshows between 10 and 20 mb, but have had no luck using either the built in Upload module or the Filestore2 module. When I try to attcach the file to a node I get a time out error in my browser.

I note that in the settings for Filestore2 it says "System maximum upload size is 8M". Does this mean there is no way to upload larger files to a Drupal site? That would be a real problem for me.

The maximum file size you can upload depends on the settings of PHP on your server. On top of that, PHP has a default time limit of 30 seconds, which also limits the time allowed to upload a file.

Alter these limits, and Drupal should adjust.

I updated my php settings as follows & restarted apache, but still I am not able to upload files of about 15MB. It seems like drupal does not adjust to the new settings and the upload size is limited to 8MB. Is there a way to change this? This is definately a limiting factor for my use case too.

max_execution_time = 60;
max_input_time = 60;
memory_limit = 50M;
upload_max_filesize = 50M;

filestore2 max upload size is also set to 50M.

Thanks.

I ended up update following php parameter to be able to upload files higer than 8 mb. I tested it out by uploading a 19mb file.

post_max_size = 50M
