Hello all. I have read many posts here and elsewhere about bumping up the upload limit through php.ini and .htaccess. I have tried to do this many different ways, and no matter what I do my upload settings tell me that my php limit is 8M.

Nowhere can I find the 8M setting, so I have no idea where drupal is getting that. I have emailed GoDaddy in case the limit is on their end. They insist that it can be easily changed in the php.ini file if it is in the root directory (and it is). I have my drupal installed in root, not its own folder by the way.

So if anyone has suggestions I would be very grateful. I have used the max_uploads and size settings that you see on the forums here like:

upload_max_filesize = 10M ;
post_max_size = 20M ;

and have tried varying limits from 10M up through 100M with no change.

Look in the php.ini file for the memory_limit setting.

Nothing there with that. Should I add it? Something like memory_limit=50M ?

50 is pretty high, I might start with 32M or so.

memory_limit = 32M

Still the same situation. Refuses to take uploads over 8M. This is really baffling.

Hoping that someone might have another idea to try.

Check with you hosting provider they may have limits set to 8meg.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did that and GoDaddy insists that I can alter the php.ini and set the limits I need.

I found this http://help.godaddy.com/topic/418/article/1475.

Note the php5.ini file if your running version 5 of php.

Also try giving it an hour or so to take effect.

You can check the settings with a info.php file.

    php_info();

I cannot thank you enough. Changing the file name from php.ini to php5.ini is all it took. You have made my day.
