Hi Mina,

The upload max size it is configured in two different places:

1- Php configuratión file.

The php.ini file defines the upload max size of Moodle. You should search the next two lines inside the files:

upload_max_filesize = 2M

post_max_size = 2M

Change the default value "2M" to the value you need. You would need to restart the web server.


2- Moodle administration.

Once you have defined those values on the php.ini file and restart the server, you need to configure the upload max size of the courses inside moodle administration pages. Go to the "Courses->Courses default settings" inside the "Site administration" block and increase the "maximum upload size" parameter to the value you need.

After that, you should be able to upload bigger SCORM files.

good luck.

From my experience, what you can configure in the administration panel can only go as high as your server max upload. If you can get your server max upload changed, then you can configure higher in the administration panel. Hope this helps. I recently had the same issue and had the hosting company raise it.
