Audio Upload Limit 4MB - No Php.ini Access
dark_globe - July 12, 2007 - 14:25
Hey Folks.
I recently installed the Audio module, and I am told now that my upload limit is 4mb.
I understand how to edit the PHP.ini file in order to increase the upload limit, but (due to sod's law) I don't have access to it.
Now, I know there is a way I can edit my .htaccess file in order to increase the upload limit, but I don't know how to do this.
Could somebody explain to me how to write a 'php_value directive' in my .htaccess file, please?
I'm not a coder... that's why I use drupal rather than write my own html sites!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

If your admin has set that
If your admin has set that limit for PHP.
And has no reason to let you modify that file.
Then there is no way you should be allowed to change that yourself with the permissions your web scripts will be running under.
It's an admin-level restriction.
Intended to maintain a working server. File uploads can tie up a bit of processing space while they are in the process of coming the wrong way up the pipe.
Ask them nicely.

My host also does not allow
My host also does not allow access to the PHP.ini file, but these instructions from them worked:

Depending on the server
Depending on the server setup you could try changing .htaccess by adding this:
php_value upload_max_filesize 16MI had similar problems, but was able to create a custom php.ini. Besides upload_max_filesize some other parameters can be the cause of upload problems, for example memory_limit.
Just adding that this will
Just adding that this will not work on php 5.x.
Are sure you can't create your own php.ini, inside your own directory? It worked for me, on a shared server.
The other one needed is
The other one needed is "post_max_size" and it must be twice the size. For downloading 16M files:
php_value upload_max_filesize 16Mphp_value post_max_size 32M
It works on some servers, it doesn't on others.
I added the php.ini
I added the php.ini below
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value post_max_size 32M
and it REDUCED my limit even further from 4MB to 2MB!!!
Why?
That was for Apache's
That was for Apache's .htaccess file. For php.ini use:
upload_max_filesize = 16Mpost_max_size = 32M
memory_limit = (something higher, like 48M)
Also, if you are using Drupal 6 (or the latest 5.x-dev=>future 5.8),
post_max_sizedoesn't need to be double size any more. It can be just 17M (to fit the text of the post).Thanks that worked!!
