Hardware and performance

Sup People!,

Finally after hours and hours of research and trial and error I have found the solution to increase your file size on your Moodle 2.1.1+.

Here is how I did it STEP BY STEP EASY as 123 FINALLY FEW!

Steps:

1. Go to GoDaddy.com or use your local FTP editor EX: Dreamweaver and navigate to your ROOT (Main Folder with all files) folder.
2. Download the "php.ini" file
3. You will not be able to open the file because nothing reads the .ini so.... instead change the file name from (php.ini) to php.php. (this way you are able to view the code in your favorite FTP editor ex: Dreamweaver)
4. Once opened view the CODE:  Here is what it should look like below:
5. 
6. Here is the code should you want to copy and replace the same on your site.
7. register_globals = off
   allow_url_fopen = off
   post_max_size = 128M
   upload_max_filesize = 128M
   expose_php = Off
   max_input_time = 600 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
   max_execution_time = 600 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
   variables_order = "EGPCS"
   extension_dir = ./
   upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
   precision = 12
   SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
   url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
   [Zend]
   zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
   zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so
   rg_emulation=off
   session.bug_compat_warn=0
   rg_emulation=off
   rg_emulation=off
   
   
8. *NOTE: If you have a line in the code that say's Something to the fact of memory limit or whatever delete it.  It will result in a blank white page.
9. Ok, So all is good right? Now, comes the interesting part which I did not know until talking to a GoDaddy.com Rep.
10. The php.ini file is used for PHP4 users = Older versions of PHP not PHP 5.3.x hence PHP 5.3.x will ignor the file as it's not a PHP5 native format. You may be asking how do I change this format? Read next line to find out.
11. Do a File "Save As" or "RENAME" The File from (php.php) to php5.php
12. Now that you have renamed it by adding a 5 to it PHP5 will be able to read it
13. Next step: Change the file back from (php5.php) to php5.ini  * Your just changing the extension remember.
14. Next using your favorite FTP editor or GoDaddy.com File Uploader  - UPLOAD the NEW php5.ini to your server.
15. DONE!  Give it a few min to settle server wise say 2min or so.

TIME TO CHECK IT!

Now GOTO MOODLE 2.1.1+

Steps to check it:

1. Go to "Settings/Site Administrator/Security/Site Policies"
2. Check to see that your Max Upload File Size has changed: here's a pic:
