Title: Old ground but need some php maxfilesize help !
Post by: allan on November 11, 2002, 02:33:12 PM: Gidday folks,
I've rsearched the forum, tried everything everyone else has suggested, searched the faq, tried the trick in there .... I still cant upload anything greater than 2mb to my 5.5 box ... I can get just up to 2mb, but no more .. I've set the MaxFileSize in /sbin/e-smith/config yadahyadahyadh, ive manually set Max File Size in php.ini I've done service httpd stops and then starts .. I've used swear words, words of encouragement, and ended up with nothing !

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The more basic the better ! Has anyone using e-smith actually uploaded via a website or imp webmail or any other .php script a file of greater than 2mb ever ?

Cheers, al.

So far the answer must be NO.. because I am in the same boat as you -- too bad, because besides this problem...Esmith rocks.. [it rocks anyway].

If you EVER figure it out please drop me an email -- I will do the same.

thanks,

Paul

Ever you tryed this: (from documentation)
"
How can I increase (or decrease) the file-size restriction on webmail attachments?
The default webmail attachment limit is 2Megabytes. In SME Server versions 5.5 and later you can set the webmail attachment limit by setting the php UploadMaxFilesize property. Once you'd done so you'll need to signal the email-update event. For example, to set the maximum attachment size to 50Megabytes:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop php UploadMaxFileSize 50M
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update
For versions prior to 5.5 either a custom-template or manual configuration of the php initialization file is required.
"
But if you are SME < 5.5 so try:

I hope this help both of you!

I followed the remaining instructions and just sent my first 9mb attachment with no problem whatsoever.

Seems to have worked..

Thank you very much.

Post by: Bob Todd on November 11, 2002, 08:32:18 PM: I wondered why the webshare util didnt allow some of the files I tested it with to be uploaded - guess its the 2Mb limit with php . Have adjusted the settings as per the instructions above and hey presto webshares now accept large files :-)
