Title: Upload [solved]
Post by: wahone on 27.06.2017 03:19:35
My file uploads fail in the front end and back if they are to big. I am able to upload large files to Easysocial but not Jdownloads. I've looked every where i can think PHP.ini, configuration files for jdownloads and system settings in Joomla. I cant seem to find it it's probably me and i've looked over it. The front end gives a 404 not found error.

Also when the file is small and it is a *.exe it will not accept it.

I have done some experimenting and i can upload a 250Mb file in Easysocial. i still cant get jdownloads to take anything over 25Mb. if i try to upload a smaller file it says its not in the extetion list i checked it is .exe

Hi
The file size you can upload is set by the values in the website php.ini file. Specifically the values of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are the usual ones that need changing. If you look in Joomla System - System Information - PHP Information tab you will see what is set for your site by your web site hosting organisation.
In many cases you can create a file called php.ini in the Joomla root and set values there.  For example I have a php.ini file in the Joomla! root with values set as below

upload_max_filesize=110M
post_max_size=112M

With the .exe files for the front end have you specified that type is allowed in the relevant User Group Settings for those people who are allowed to upload? In front end upload the form tells you what types are allowed.
