Answered Unable to upload large files

    Hi,

    For some reason i have problems uploading larger files via Manager.

    Files below 2MB - No problems
    Files from 2MB > - Everything seems to go well, no errors, but the file is not uploaded.
    Files Above 20MB - Error "Access denied"

    -upload_maxsize setting is not the reason. I've set it up to 40MB or so.
    -htaccess is also ok.
    -File type is not the issue either. All file types are behaving same way.
    -Server should allow 100MB uploads.

    Any ideas what might cause this?

      Spotted this in another post.

      moved a server, and even though the max upload file size was 64M, the upload is done using POST, so the post_max_size needed to be updated in my php.ini. No restart was needed

        Ok. php.ini did the trick. Thanks!
