Is there a file size limit that I need to be concerned about? I have uploaded course files to my repository file, and when I go to add the activity, it tells me the file size is too large. I was under the impression that by uploading it to via FTP and into a repository folder, I could avoid file size limits.
There is a setting in permissions for teacher role that would ignorefilesize limits. Currently, your teacher role does not have that set. Manager role does not have that restriction.
Use Site Admin -> Users -> Permissions -> Capability Overvew tool and search for moodle/course:ignorefilesizelimits
Edit the teacher role and set Use files larger than any file size restrictionsmoodle/course:ignorefilesizelimits to allow.
Remember that's a setting for all teachers ... even the ones that tend to abuse.

Thanks for the response Ken. I don't see that particular setting in any role, let alone the teacher. I feel like I have repositories set up before, and was able to upload larger files using ftp to the repository folder, and then selecting the repository in the file picker.
Otherwise, I feel like I will need to play with the php.ini file which so far has been a headache as I use go daddy to host.
Which is your Moodle version Chris? The capability to ignore file size limits started with Moodle 2.3 http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Capabilities/moodle/course:ignorefilesizelimits
Uhhh, time to upgrade (if you can)? 2.2.x now in category for Legacy versions - no longer supported. 2.3.x Requires: PHP 5.3.2, MySQL 5.1.33.
