cannot upload files exceeding a rather low limit

cannot upload files exceeding a rather low limit

Trying to upload a file of 632 kB I get a default error HTML screen: cannot find file etc.

Uploading a small file (40 kB) does not lead to problems

I run moodle 1.2 beta; installed a few weeks ago. The maxlimit is set to 2 Mb.

Any suggestions?

OK, thanks for replying.

I did adjusted the numbers.
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf with the upload size in bytes (different operating systems may have these files in different locations):

LimitRequestBody: 20971520  (that should be large enough to upload 690 kB I guess smile

But I still I get an error the with a 'can't find server or DNS error' and the usual IE cannot find server page.  Browser is looking for the "http://drkoops.xs4all.nl/moodle/mod/resource/coursefiles.php", which actually does exist. on my server. The owner is "apache".

Any suggestions?

Kind regards, Martijn

I take it you mean that this error message comes up when you try and do an upload, not all the time? If you can switch off IE's friendly messages or better still use a proper browser like Mozilla. This will give you a more useful error messages.

Can you also check your Apache error logs on your server and see if there is a related entry there that might indicate what is going wrong.

Thanks, checking the /var/log/httpd/log showed that teh old max filesize was still effective.

A restart of httpd  solved the problem.

Thjanks for helping me solve this one.
