Trying to adjust 2mb size limitation. Have read many suggested FAQ pages and the http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gallery-users&m=102589601604892&w=2

*There was no php.ini file in root folder, nor was there an .htaccess file in root folder. So, I created them and got Server Error for .htaccess so removed it per FAQ directions.

*Have put newly created php.ini file in root folder but still not able to get photos bigger than 2mb into gallery.

(Note: There is a php.ini file in the root folder of my entire website which includes multiple subdomains. Perhaps this is the folder i should put the suggested code into?)

Cannot find "add_photos.php" file.

Confused, I contacted my host/server and they cannot find any of these files in the folder either.

Any advice on how to change this size limitation? I'm brand new to Gallery so THANKS for anyone's help. -Will

Preinstall through host/server.

Database = mysql 4.0.27-max-log, lock.system=flock
Toolkits = ImageMagick
Acceleration = none, none
Operating system = Linux
Default theme = floatrix
Locale = en_US

Dear medmoth, the answer is to change some value settings in your php.ini file in the root directory. The link you refer to is outdated, I guess PHP has moved on. See my description of the solution that worked for me here: http://minofants.com/wordpress/?p=4

Good luck, Marcel

Ahhh...Marcel. Thanks so very much. This has proven remedy to my dilemma.

Turns out your link referred to the exact godaddy.com problem i was facing.

Is this limitation set up in the package godaddy uses for their easy installation of Gallery I wonder? Perhaps their installation includes use and configuring of the size limit module being set to function and run automatically rather than providing choice to consumer? the 2mb limit being pre-set.

Hopefully your blog will help rectify the discouraging experience so many godaddy customers are having.

THANKS again.

Medmoth, glad it worked for you!

My understanding is that the 2mb limit is simply the default for PHP and it may be a bit small for today's media files.

Isn't the size limit module something that can be selected when configuring installation of Gallery though?
