Because I dont have access to my php.ini file to edit it, I was told to create an .htacess file.<br /><br />But this is out of my skill set.<br /><br />Should I give up? <br /><br /> Then another thing<br /><br />The upload script I installed Locked my Mp3 directory when I installed<br />it.<br /><br />I dont have any Commercial music on the server FYI.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />My page is <a href="http://www.12string.net" target="_blank">http://www.12string.net</a><br />My upload script is <a href="http://www.12string.net/uploader/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.12string.net/uploader/index.php</a><br /><br />The Authors instructions on this is:<br /><br /><br />faq - frequently asked questions<br /><br />_ i cannot upload files bigger than 2mb. why?<br /><br /><br />php has a value that sets the maximum filesize for uploads. this setting defaults to 2mb and can be changed in php.ini.<br /><br />you have to change the following:<br />-> upload_max_filesize (defaults to 2M)<br />-> if necessary increase post_max_size. the value must be greater than upload_max_filesize for big uploads to work.<br />-> if necessary increase max_execution_time.<br /><br />if you have no direct access to php.ini you can change the setting for upload_max_filesize using a .htaccess, in case your provider allows this. please ask your provider.<br /><br /><br />Thanks! Im Lost!<!--content-->

post_max_size in php.ini edit to 12 megs is what I am being told will help.<br /><br />Although, I may have to go back to Cgi uploaders if I cant get the php.ini file edited.<br /><br />Although I am not sure where my php.ini file is at.<br />It must be on the main server and off limits.<br /><br />Some one said .htaccess editing is not going to do a thing and I need to <br />configure thehttpd.config file, but on a server that has shared hosting it is not possible.<br /><br />My last host was very nice about having the post_max_size set very high.<br /><br />I host Non commercial guitar songs for a small radio station.<br /><br />But if users can't upload, then I am spinning my wheels and need to move on to CGI and thats BAD!<br /><br />Don't take this the wrong way, Uploading Mp3 songs to my Radio station is very important to my community page.<br /><br />Im spending days and days on this.<br /><br />This is a .htacess file I may upload.<br />But others said nothing will work.<br /><br />php_value memory_limit 11M <br />php_value post_max_size 11M <br />php_value upload_max_filesize 11M <br />php_value max_execution_time 600 <br /><br /><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/shutup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shutup:" border="0" alt="shutup.gif" /> <br /><br />Is there nothing I can do?<br /><br />I looked in the Link you gave me.

twelves...<br /><br />Add the following lines to your .htaccess file:<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><IfModule mod_php4.c><br /> ?php_value memory_limit 11M <br /> ?php_value upload_max_filesize 11M <br /> ?php_value max_execution_time 600 <br /></IfModule><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />It should work.<br /><br />Always make a backup of your .htaccess file before mucking around with it. <br /><br />[Edited note: Upon further review, the post_max_size line didn't need to be in there, since the default value is already 55M. I am not sure about the memory_limit. It doesn't show in php_info()]<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />...dave<!--content-->
