Our  network manager has installed Moodle in our school  on server 2008 R2 IIS - but the vanilla install has a max upload size of 2MB.

He says he has followed the instructions here  http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/File_upload_size

trying both with instructions for  the server 2008 and the XP/Server 2003 but no joy.

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

thanks

Mary,

You will need to make changes in the php.ini and the web.config.  IIS 7.x has a limit of 30mb.  Change the values below to match your needs.

php.ini

  • upload_max_filesize = 500M
  • post_max_size = 500M

web.config

<system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <requestLimits  maxAllowedContentLength="524288000"/>
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
</system.webServer>

I would also suggest installing the windows PHP Manager via the Windows Web Installer.

Hi there. Thanks very much for this - I will pass it on but - can you just confirm something - "IIS 7  has a limit  of 30MB" You mean we can't upload (through Moodle interface) anything larger than 30MB???

The limit is imposed by default, the web.config changes the limit.

Glad I could be of assistance.
