max file size in imp/horde
« on: July 08, 2002, 02:51:33 AM »
Hi,

on the old 5.1, i could send and receive emails with attachments as big as 7 mb.  now the new 5.5 version says the max is 2mb.

can anybody explain how to hack this to change it without breaking other stuff?

thank you,

plebius

I did this with my SME 5.5 and it worked great.

Did this work for you?  What is the purpose of d/loading the rpm?

Cant you just manually edit the php.ini file with the changes ?

thx

Looking for a response that the last paul asked for...

Can I make the changes but not d/load the rpm?


This attachment thing seems to come up throughout this board a hundred times.  Can one of the local experts address it once and for all.  Can I setup my esmith 5.5 to handle 10, 15 or 20 mb file attachments?






-----------------------------


Install the rpm:

rpm -Uvh e-smith-php-1.5.0-03.noarch.rpm

Add these settings into the configuration database to increase the maximum attachment size to 25MB:

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop php MaxExecutionTime 1800
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop php MemoryLimit 100M
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop php PostMaxSize 25M
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 25M

Well, if you had read the FAQ's (which ever user should do, new & old as they are changed often) you would find:

ahh.. you are right. I never read the new FAQ.


HOWEVER, I just did what the FAQ link you sent suggested, and it did not work.


I made a few send attempts with 8 MB, 11 MB and 8 MB again.....my IE ends up  with a "can not display page" error and the message never gets sent.  

Thank you, thou for your quick response.  Anything else I should try?  Its a fresh 5.5 install fully updated with no extra anything....

OK, there are two limitations to worry about for WAN users (not knowing if you are internal or not).  There is of course MAX size, which is what you've changed, but also is the MAX UPLOAD time, this is the timeout which is allowed for the MAX SIZE to get uploaded, if you're on dialup (external) then this will also be an issue.  I have no idea how to change it, but it gives you somewhere to start looking.

HINT-This is a php setting, so it's prolly configured somewhere there.

Thanks for the reply.... I am not on a dialup -- T1 and Cable.. [several esmith boxes].

So I guess it is safe to assume that this is still a problem with the the esmith  solution and everyone else has the same problem??

Hopefully  someday there will be a final answer.   Until  then, thank you  for trying to help.
