Video MB

Good news for you folks out there that are on shared hosting

the upload limit of 2MB can me tricked out

i was able to get around this

Successfully uploaded 23 MB video and it works just fine

well it only took me 2 weeks to find a way around this

glad you were able to get a work around. i presume you wrote this in the .htaccess or were allowed to create a php.ini file to write locally the parameters for the max_upload_size parameters?

Yes, how about sharing how you tricked your hosting??? ;-)

Hi prolaznik - it's very frustrating to see these happy messages that someone worked around the file upload limit without any directions as to how.

I haven't had any success myself. No matter what I do to the htaccess, I always get the above message 'File size shouldn't exceed 7MB'

I wish I knew where that message comes from.

Also, anyone know how/where to edit the message/language???

My site is in Danish...

Cheers ;-)

what's your php.ini settings

memory_limit = 128M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize=128M
post_max_size=128M
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
expose_php = Off
max_execution_time = 660
max_input_time = 660

also rename it to php5.ini

This is what I've tried:

I've created the sub-directory 'cgi-bin' in my root directory. In here I've put a file called php5.ini with this code in:

[PHP]

memory_limit = 128M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize=128M
post_max_size=128M
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
expose_php = Off
max_execution_time = 660
max_input_time = 660

[/PHP]

I've also created file, php-wrapper.cgi, with the code:

#!/bin/sh
exec /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi $*

And to my .htaccess I've added the following code:

php_flag register_globals Off
php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value max_execution_time 5000
php_value max_input_time 5000

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.cgi
Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.cgi
