Was trying to install Wordpress Kickstart, but it didn't work. File size was too large. This is the message is spit out: The file wordpress_kickstart-7.x-1.x-dev-core (1).tar.gz could not be saved, because it exceeds 2 MB, the maximum allowed size for uploads. I chedked php.ini, and it allows for files as large or larger than the one I'm trying to download. There must be something within Drupal that I need to adjust to be able to download a module larger than 2mb

first issue you have is that you are trying to install a installation profile through the drupal admin ui. That won't work. the admin ui is for installing modules and themes.
drupal's upload limit is solely based on php config. run a phpinfo() to make sure the max_file_size is set larger than 2M , also make sure that post max is set a little higher than max file size.
Lastly, if the host doesn't allow those changes then you need to question the host.
Thanks
I called the host to increase the file upload limit, and I was given every indication that this was done, but I'll have to call again to make sure. I'm rather new to Drupal, obviously, and I was thinking that there might be somewhere in admin to adjust file size down/up loads? Thanks again for your response.

rather than taking the hosts word for it, check with phpinfo()
create a new .php file with a text editor
past into the file the following
<?php phpinfo(); ?>save the file
name it phpinfo
upload it to your server
call it in your browser
check php settings
delete when done.
I would venture a guess that you have access to a phpinfo list in your host panel. especially if using cpanel. May also have access to editing your php.ini file which is where these settings are.
thanks...
been awhile since I last logged on, but wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
