Most php installs have 2MB set as the maximum by default. You can change it in php.ini.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.sect.file-uploads

See, I tried the php.ini file already in my root directory... Here's a copy of what I got on it.

file_uploads = 1
upload_max_filesize = 25,000,000
upload_tmp_dir = /home/appalsho/public_html/blogs/media/

I made some changes and tried uploading a 5MB mp3 and I had no luck... It eventually gives me an error stating, "Couldn't upload file." What am I doing wrong here? :-/

The commas might be messing you up. Try

upload_max_filesize = 25M

And try it without defining the tmp directory, too.

well, i made the change to my php.ini file, and here's what I got.

Couldn't upload your file to: /home/appalsho/public_html/blogs/media/track_9.mp3

Did you try it without the upload_tmp_dir line? It might work better if you just let it write to the normal tmp directory (then php moves to the right location, but that is specified in the script, not the php.ini file).

I tried that and here is my php.ini - this is ALL thats listed in my php.ini.

file_uploads = 1
upload_max_filesize = 25M

I tried what you said and still no luck... I can't upload anything over the 2MB mark.

Silly question, but hell, I'm renowned for them ... do you have any "hacks" installed (on the blogs?) or, are you on a shared server where your host may have their own limitations?

We own our own server, so we dont have hosting limiatations or anything like that. Is there some setting we need to change or alter to make this work? We also dont have any hacks or custom files installed, other than our skin which is basic and from right here on B2.

Let me know.

I'm not the worlds best when it comes to Php (especially the ini file), but, I found this in my php.ini.

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M

Might be worth adding (with 25M as the size) and see if that does anything.

Notta... Has to be something simple...

I have edited the b2upload.php and _admin.php to accomodate the changes. They previously had the wrong file sizes listed, so I set them to 25000 which is 25MB.

Ok, let me recap,

You have no problems uploading files under 2mb, therefore you have the correct permissions.

You have increased the upload limit in php.ini, b2upload.php and _admin.php

You have increased the max post size in php.ini

You have no "hacks" on your blog

You have no host limitations

hmmmmm, buggered if I know what the problem is. When I next get chance I'll try amending my blog to see if I can upload past the 2mb mark to see if I have problems and, if so, I'll have a play at making it work.
