Question [Topic closed by moderator due to lack of interest] cant upload any files

^ thats what i m doing now

images upload and show fine

but files are not showing up

ok, i tried uploading a small file of 23 KB and it got thru all fine

but the 3mb file does not upload

Read the doc : docs.kunena.com/index.php/Cannot_upload_...nts_larger_than_2_MB

i dont have access to that file

It is probably set in your serverhosts config file (2mb is default for php).
There is maybe another solution.
Set the value in a htaccess file.
Some hosts allows that. Some does not.

Try make (or edit) a file called '.htaccess' in the joomla or site root.

See if you can find a line starting with this:
php_value upload_max_filesize

If not, insert this line:
php_value upload_max_filesize 5mb

And try again.

If it doesnt work, you're out of luck, as it is a server configuration option.

Any way - Now you know one more thing to look out for, when choosing a serverhost in the future

Edit: You might now think - 'wow, ill raise it to 1000mb and start uploading pr0n'. Well, dont. Upload has a limit for a reason. If you are about to upload large files, I would check with your host first..

I just checked the limit on my webhost: 10 Mb! :woohoo:

Good points and thanks for your contribution, LittleJohn. Perhaps someone could try changing the value in .htaccess and see if this successfully overrides the value in php.ini but, somehow, I doubt it for other reasons you've suggested.

I've also made a few changes to the documentation in the Wiki that helps to explain this issue (thanks, xillibit, for creating the topic )
