Debaser Questions

OK, I just installed this module since I am creating an MP3 hosting website and it seems perfect for this.

However I have a few questions about the module that are a bit confusing to me.

1. Where is the "php.ini" file located so that I may set the max upload specs?

2. I would like to set the maximum file upload to 5MB, but I don't know how many bytes that is? .. the modules's preferences ask for bytes, not MB. Can somebody please tell me how many bytes 5MB would be?

Currently the Max. Upload Size is defaulted at: 2096128 bytes. How many MB is that?

Thanks much

2096128 Bytes = 1.9990234 Megabytes

5 Megabytes = 5,242,880 Bytes

1 Megabyte = 1,048,576 Bytes

convert bytes to megabytes

You can set php.ini config values in a number of ways
e.g:
1) ini_set() php function
2) .htaccess files
3) placing a file called php.ini the top directory of your website containing the settings you want.

Have a look at this tutorial

Thanks for this information.

I think I would prefer to place a file called "php.ini" in the top directory of my website containing the settings I want.
The problem is that I don't know what code to put in the php.ini file since I am not good with php or coding.

Can anyone give me the correct code that I will need to place in the php.ini file to get Debaser working to my specs?

I want the max file upload size to be 5242880 bytes.

Thanks

You may want to make a php.ini file like this:

php.ini


; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.

upload_max_filesize = 6M



; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.

post_max_size = 6M



 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

max_execution_time = 1200    



 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data

max_input_time = 60      



 ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

memory_limit = 8M

Make it in notepad, save it as "php.ini" (with the quotemarks) in the Save As.. dialog. Upload it to your server into your XOOPS root directory and it should do the trick.

See the PHP Manual for more information on php.ini settings.

Thanks so much for this!

... you are too cool!!!

Did you mean I should put the file in my Xoop's folder, or in my root?

Thanks again ..

your main XOOPS folder, you could put it in other folders too (e.g the debaser module folder)

good luck with that

ut oh!

I installed the "php.ini" file in all of the directories, and it still won't work?

I keep getting this error message:
upload failed .. file is too large

Not all hosters allow to overwrite master-values of the php-settings with local values.

Perhaps look for another hoster which allows bigger uploads or overriding master-values.

You could try another method like

ini_set()

or

.htaccess files

if the first one doesn't work, they might.

I just installed debaser, looks awesome...I have this same problem trying to upload a large file. I have uploaded the file via FTP instead. Is there a way in debaser to now move this .mpg file to a category for viewing? I have uploaded the file here:
modules/debaser/upload/
