Large Attachment Problem.

[The_Enigma]

I'm trying to upload a 10MB file and i receive this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11254047 bytes) in /*******/includes/class_core.php3 on line 1696

I've tried freddies suggestion of adding this line to config.php for which he said in another post but this doesn't make any difference.

ini_set('memory_limit', '16M');

File uploads work up to about 8MB anything over doesn't

Any Suggestions?

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 (or my.ini for Windows systems)

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.

Note: You may also need to increase the max_execution_time and max_input_time variables in php.ini.

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

What should the max execution time and input time be for a 10MB file?

It's currently at:

max_execution_time 30
max_input_time 60

What should the max execution time and input time be for a 10MB file?

It's currently at:

max_execution_time 30
max_input_time 60

P.S it use to work on version 3.0.1

It really depends on the server and the connection but I would try setting max_execution_time to 120.
