Can you tell me what this means and how I make it so that I can upload files which are bigger than 2MB?......
"The current PHP configuration limits file uploads to 2 MB.
There are two PHP ini settings, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, that limit the maximum size of uploads. You can change these settings in the php.ini file or by using a php_value directive in Apache .htaccess file. Consult the PHP documentation for more info."
Also i cant understand this...
"Optionally specify an alternative URL by which this node can be accessed. For example, type "about" when writing an about page. Use a relative path and don't add a trailing slash or the URL alias won't work."
When you say "node", what is a node?
Also, how can i write the url to my file without putting a trailing slash? as far as i can see it has to be a subdirectory if i am going to upload a file onto my server?

Please tag the threads you create with the verison of Drupal you are using.
also take care to read Tips for posting to the Drupal forums
means you can't until you adjust the settings in your php.ini file provided your host allows you to do so. This question is more for your host. Ask them the best way you override defaults on their PHP settings. php.ini is the file that has all of the PHP settings that the server uses. htaccess directives are placed in the .htaccess file that drupal has in it's download.
A node = dictionary look up = "a centering point of component parts. "
to undestand how that related to Drupal see: http://drupal.org/node/937 for a list of Drupal Terminology
to understand the differences between a relative URL and an absolute URL, google some informaton. using relative urls makes your site modular, using absolute URLs will break your site if you ever move it.
At the top of drupal.org is a handbooks link, This is a primary link and a link that will help you tremendously as a newcomer. Also take a peek at The Drupal Cookbook (for beginners) Which was written by a newcomer from a newcomers perspective.

Thanks.
i called the godaddy hosting server I am using and asked them about overriding defaults on the PHP settings and the technical support said that this was a third party issue, so I was wondering where do I got from here?
Thanks for the advice about the drupal cookbook for beginners. I have started taking a look at that and it helps, but i could not find the link for handbooks at the top of drupal.org, but the list of drupal terminology is also very useful....
if you have any advice about how i can configure the site to upload files of more than 2MB i would be grateful...

thge handbooks link was recently changed to the word documentation.
My suggestion with the host would be to switch hosts. Fact is the answer you recieved was bogus. It's not a 3rd party issue. You as the account holder want to increase uploads, regardless of which PHP program you used uploads would still be set at their defaults.
Many hosts allow you to override their PHP default settings, obviously godaddy has no desire to do so for you.
php.ini or new host
you can override it with a PHP.ini in the public root, or by switching to a host like Hostgator.
you can also put it into
you can also put it into your .htaccess file
Settings for .htaccess file:
* php_value post_max_size 100M
* php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
* php_value max_execution_time 1000
* php_value max_input_time 1000
if you can ge to your php.ini
Settings for php.ini:
* post_max_size=100M
* upload_max_filesize=100M
* max_execution_time=1000
* max_input_time=1000
