PHP.ini (max file upload size)

PHP.ini (max file upload size)

Is anyone else having trouble with the max file upload size? I've tried to edit my default php.ini file to 64M, but I still cannot upload a file anything over than 8MB. I also tried to create a new .htaccess file and put it in my moodle root folder but I get a 404 error, or it simply just does not work.

Anyone that has come across this problem, can you shed some light on how to fix? I would upload the file manually in FTP but I checked a lot of folders like /lib and /admin but did not come across my past uploaded SCORM packages (lower than 8MB). I'm currently running a hostgator dedicated server. Thanks!

Have you checked out:

http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/adjusting-the-file-upload-or-post-size

and

http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/what-is-php-ini

Since you are remotely hosted with a provider that does have docs, hostgator docs/faqs should be your first resource.

and in relation to Moodle:

https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/File_system_repository

Shows 30 docs but should apply to version 2's as well.

This helped thanks! I ended up creating a new php.ini in my root moodle folder.
