Well all is well on the forums, But i hit a snag. I thought it was a phpBB3 problem but they told me it was serverside. <br /><br />Here is the link to the thread there <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=692015" target="_blank">http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.p...46&t=692015</a><br /><br />Where do i find this php.ini file and how can i increase this 2Mb up to 10Mb or higher? Before i did the upgrade i could upload over 10Mb, so i dont know what changed<!--content-->
You cannot edit the php.ini file on the server but you can change the value by making changes to your .htaccess file.<br /><br />Add lines similar to these in your .htaccess file.<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->php_value post_max_size 16M<br />php_value upload_max_size 16M<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />That will allow 16mb uploads. You can go higher by changing the 16 to another value.<!--content-->
Now i am going to assume it is the .htaccess in the main root. the same one i added the global line too. but in that file it refers to 2 seperate files. <br /><br />Do i added the line to each o fhte 2 files like i added the gloabal?<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><Files "config.php"><br />Order Allow,Deny<br />Deny from All<br />php_flag register_globals off<br /></Files><br /><br /><Files "common.php"><br />Order Allow,Deny<br />Deny from All<br />php_flag register_globals off<br /></Files><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><!--content-->

ok thanks<br /><br />this does give me the thought that i should add the global lines outside as well??<br /><!--content-->
