In addition to the vB settings, the allowed size of the attachments depends on the PHP and MySQL configuration. You may need to check and change the upload size for both PHP and for MySQL. Note, you'll need to have root access to the server to do this (or have your host do it.) Make these changes to php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = xM

..and my.cnf

set-variable=max_allowed_packet=xM

Change it to the size ('x') you want in Megabytes. Restart the webserver and MySQL after making these changes.

Also you might want to take a look at this for other settings that affect file uploads:

Steve, just spent the better part of a day working with someone on their system to get large file uploads working. We increased *everything* from my.cnf to php.ini and a lot between and, no joy.. the files would upload but then error out when the system tried to write them to the DB... what finally worked was switching the attachment storage type to file system rather than the db. Together with the increased file size settings in the php and sql config files, this seems to be the trick. I don't know if you'd want that large of a db anyway... seems I read somewhere that a very large db can be a large problem..

server root access

i dont have access to the server to do these changes is there a way i can do it from my web admin pannel via queeris...

[Steve Machol]

No, these changes need to be done on the server level. You'll have to ask your host to do this.

same prob

I believe to be having the same problem. Does it really matter if I change the file storage to File rather than DB. Will this affect anything?

thanks

Venge, please start your own thread with all the relevant details.
