What is the Maximum File Size

danielmatthews / 2012-08-05 21:29:01   

Apologies if this has been asked and answered in the past. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything definitive. I'm uploading an image that is 244.92KB and am being told that it is too large. Tried on Safari and Chrome with OS 10.8 using a NearlyFreeSpeech server. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
D

Hmmm, that's strange. But, you can change the upload max in /ndxzsite/config/options.php - it's really obvious which variable you need to change.

Note: the higher that number goes the more likely it is that your server can't handle it - so don't push it too far.

I have a similar problem. I've upgraded my site to version 2 and miracolously everything worked, old images are displayed. But when I try to upload a new image, of a similar size to those already displayed, I get a "file too big" message.

What can I do? Thanks in advance.

By default images are restricted to 200kb - you dont really need bigger images for the web.
You can change this in the options.php file though...

I have the same issue... but when I try to change it in options.php it tells me that no direct script access is allowed :(

You can't change it via a web browser - use FTP and a text editor.

oh I see, thanks! I'm a serious, serious novice here. Are there general tutorials about basic theme stuff etc.?

It's not a theme issue. How did you upload your files? With FTP. etc...

Download some free FTP software like Filezilla and use a code editor or a text editor. Edit the file and reupload...
