Uploading files using the file extension -- time or file size restrictions?

I am using the File extension for uploading files using the publish form. This works fine for smaller files, but when I try to upload large files (60Mb .mov files), the publish form displays a blank box when finished instead of displaying the content of the posting. The upload is also not completed.

I have increased the file size in php.ini. Are there other settings that need to be adjusted?

I am running Expression engine 1.6.6 with the multisite module on Ubuntu 8.04 and Apache 2.

Hi, icebreaker. File is a third party extension. I’m going to move this to the Extensions forum for additional community involvement.

I usually set these in my HTACCESS file, though you can also set them in the PHP.INI if you have access to it.

php_value memory_limit 64M
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M php_value post_max_size 100M

Super – I overlooked the post_max_size limit. Thanks

I forget it myself all the time. I just use a standard HTACCESS file these days so I won’t forget.
