Extend the maximum execution time and raise the maximum post size is what I had to change in my php.ini in addition to changing the upload size limit. The size of the file is limited to the amount of ram available to your instance because the whole file needs to be loaded into memory before being sent to Dropbox which is also the reason for raising the max post size.
Hello hiphopsmurf.
I’ve tried everything I can find to get my upload size increased. I have it set to 128 in the config.php file and the upload time has been increased. Is there a way that you can provide some step by step directions on what to change exactly and where it is located? It would be a great help.
My hosting provider has upped me to 128MB and it is uploading from the plugin on my page to my web server. Just not making it from my webserver to Dropbox if the file is over 59MB… Kind of odd.
Is there any possibility that you will be able to circumnavigate the need to have the file loaded into RAM in order to be sent to dropbox? It would be grand to only be limited by the file space allowed by Host and DB.
Thanks in advance for all of your help!
@atomimage I have looked into getting around the Memory issue before, unfortunately I was unsuccessful and was told that its a limitation with the dropbox API. The php.ini on my one server contains:
[php]
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
max_execution_time = 300
If possible restart apache to ensure the settings take effect. If files over 58MB aren’t making it, its probably because PHP/WordPress is already taking up 60MB of the remaining 70MB on your host.
