CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We have a large amount of contacts to import into Civi - the online documentation says that the CSV files need to be no larger than 8MB, but the import screen says they need to be no larger than 2MB.  When I try to import a small file (640k or so), the import works fine, but when I try to import an 8MB file either through firefox or safari, it bounces back to me with an error:

Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

    * Import Data File is a required field.

Is there a way to bump up the max import filesize?  In the FAQ, it mentions setting CIVICRM_MAX_IMPORT_FILESIZE in civicrm.settings.php but that flag doesn't exist in there, I tried adding a:

define( 'CIVICRM_MAX_IMPORT_FILESIZE', 9000000 );

but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Right now, we're running civicrm 2.0.4. 

Is there any other way to load a large amount of data programatically given that we have the CSV files?  we have 60 or 70 8 MB files to load :^(
