Increase upload size
September 09, 2009, 07:30:36 am
Hello,

I am trying to increase the maximum size of the attachments in CiviMail (and also in the regular civicrm's 'Send an e-mail')

I have updated php.ini and now I have

 upload_max_filesize = 10M
 post_max_size = 20M

which are (after apache reload) confirmed by phpinfo()

However, 'Send an e-mail' still complains with message 'File size should be less than 2 MByte(s)' when I try to attach anything over 2 MB.

Much appreciated if someone could push me in the right direction...

can you fix the following line (for now)

CRM/Core/BAO/File.php, line 290

can you also file an issue for this and we'll fix it for a future release

Ok, after changes to lines 291-296

            $form->setMaxFileSize( 10 * 1024 * 1024 );
            $form->addRule( "attachFile_$i",
                            ts( 'File size should be less than %1 MByte(s)',
                                array( 1 => 10 ) ),
                            'maxfilesize',
                            10 * 1024 * 1024 );
        }

it worked (I had to increase memory_limit in php.ini, 9M attachment needed something like 130M of memory)

And.. thank you for the solution!

I'm getting the "max size should be less than" warning message when uploading a file to an activity, but the file is much less than the configured max (150kb file, 2M max). php settings are fine (both max upload and post max).

I don't see where in CRM/Core/BAO/File.php it retrieves and compares the file's size against the max file size. even if I bump up the max file size, it still rejects the file. it will, however, upload very small files, so I think there's something going on with the mechanism to retrieve the file size.
