Sorry to add to this increasingly long list.
I have a moodle behind a proxy server. I have changed the max upload file size in both to 100 meg.
When i look at the php info I see the master max file size is correct, but the local max file size is 16 meg.
I tried a .htaccess on the moodle directory with no effect.
I changed the limit in /etc/apache/php.ini on the moodle host to 131meg and this was the number that appeared in the master settings column, but nothing I have changed is able to effect the local columns settings.
I have searched for alternate php.ini, and apache limit settings in the apache config file (although i suspect these would not be reflected in the PHP properties.
Can anyone suggest another place I could look. there is a 16Msetting in there somewhere giggling at me
