[Forum] Cannot upload image larger than 2mb

[NicoRichters]

Hi,

I checked all the settings but must have missed something.
When I try to upload a large image more than 2mb it is being rejected (I am using the new upload manager).
I have checked the settings in Attachments and gave an overall upload limit to 10mb also chanced the maximum size of the image to the highest settings.

Where else do I need to check in order to be able to upload these images?

just a guess - but have you transferred these settings across to the usergroup you want them to affect too? there's an 'attachment permissions' option in usergroups too.

Hi yes,

I have Use Custom Permissions ticked and the following in the permission for Administrator

Max Filesize 10000000
Maximum Width: 65535
Maximum Height: 65535

You also need to check your PHP settings:

upload_max_filesize = XXM

XX would be the top limit for file size.

Ask your host for help on where to set this as each host has different rules on how/where to edit this setting for PHP.

heya

upload_max_filesize => 200M

I am operating a video webpage so that is not the problem.

Any other ideas?

Ok. Then try not using the new upload manager, change it back to the old style and see what happens.

That's the only other thing that I can think of that would be causing a problem.

Maybe we're misunderstanding each other The following options also need to be set in user groups -
Attachment Permissions Can Upload Attachments Yes No
Space (in bytes) that a user's total attachment usage may consume (Set to 0 to not have a limit)

NVM.... Not enough coffee. Misread the original post.

Go to Attachments -> Attachment Storage Settings and change the system so that it stores attachments in the file system instead of the database. Many MySQL installations have a maximum packet size of 1 or 2 megabytes. This would prevent large uploads to the database.
