File hosting on PHPBB

[Andytizer 269]

1) I'm trying to upload a 60mb file. It's giving me the error:

The attachment’s file size is too large, the maximum upload size is 2 MB.

Please note this is set in php.ini and cannot be overridden.

 

I believe that administrators and moderators can upload past the attachment limit?

 

2) I'd like set permissions on upload limits like this:

Administrator/moderator: 1gb

Normal user: 50mb

That's not an issue with your 'installation' of phpBB, but your configuration of 'php.ini' (the 'settings' for the PHP service for the website).

Edit the 'upload_max_filesize' value to 1024 MB for 1 GB; you'll likely have to do this via SSH access.

Thanks Matt, I think we sorted it out :).

 

Edit: actually I adjusted to php.ini but I think we may need to restart? I'll leave this to JRWR..

Turns out that it was something to do with nginx we are running. File hosting works now, but we need to figure out some policies.

 

For now the limits are 1gb for moderators, 100mb for registered users.

 

If a file extension is not supported, email me and I'll add it in.
