Limit to file upload size?

Is there an upper limit to the size of files uploaded under the Files tab?

I am on Textdrive server, and just upgraded to Textpattern 4.0.4.

I am unable to upload a 2.1 Mb pdf, although I am able to upload smaller sizes with no problem.

Maybe it is a timeout problem, as I am on dialup. (?) – [EDIT: No, I just tried on hi speed connection, had same problem.]

I try to upload a file like I always do, and things seem to be working, and after about 13 minutes, the file upload page refreshes like it normally would, but the new file is not listed (yes I remembered to look on page 2).

Advice and suggestions welcome,
tjallen

PS Yes I have seen this FAQ for 4.0.4, but the problem described there does not seem to be the same as my problem:

Have you tried changing the file size limit in Preferences > Advanced ?
The default is approx. 2MB.

Martin,
Thank-you so much! That was it! I don’t know how I missed it.

Re: Limit to file upload size?

I’m also having file limit issues. I tried to change the max upload value, but it reset itself to 2097152 bytes, I imagine because of something with the PHP. Is there any way to change this?

Re: Limit to file upload size?

I think you would need to speak to your host as the size you have posted is a general default limit.

You can also FTP your file to the files folder, the ‘Files’ screen will then show a new select box labeled ‘Existing file’ and you can add it from there.

Re: Limit to file upload size?

What did you change in htaccess? Ive increased the values in php.ini but in textpattern admin the file upload limit wont go higher than 8388608.
