  It's a setting in PHP itself, in PHP.ini:
  

  Code

  ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
  upload_max_filesize = 2M

  
  You should be able to set it by putting that last line in an .htaccess file (if hosted on Apache).
  If there isn't one already, create a text file with the name .htaccess in your PostNuke root.

  PHP by default sets an upload limit of 2Mb, which is set in its main configuration file.
  
  You should be able to override that in your site by creating a plain text file (with for instance Notepad, not Word) and entering the line
  

  Code

  upload_max_filesize = 10M

  (or however many megabytes you want)
  then save as .htaccess. Note the full stop at the beginning. This signifies a hidden system file. On my Windows system at least I can still see them, but on Unix systems, where you presumably are hosted, it is hidden.
  Now upload that file into your PostNuke root.
  Hopefully that should work. I haven't tried it.

  I don't think you can rename a file to .htaccess on Windows, at least I tried it on my own computer and it didn't work.
  
  Try uploading the file named as upload.htaccess or something and then rename it when it is inside your postnuke to .htaccess

  Win Explorer, the unstable piece of crap, doesn't let you rename a file to .htaccess, as it complains there is no filename, thinking everything after the full stop is an extension. But fortunately it doesn't complain about existing ones. What I do is save from a text editor, no problem with the name there. A DOS aficionado (or any Linux user)
  would simply jump on the command line.
  I'm astonished MS, with all their money and resources, still hasn't been able to make something better, faster, and more stable. I have real trouble with folders with a lot of image files in them, even in list view. I need a Mac!!

  As mentioned, if you already have an htaccess file in your PostNuke root, don't overwrite it. You can add to it. Place it at the top, or at the bottom, it shouldn't matter in this case, as longs as it's not in the middle of the last block of Limit directives.
  That's a curious htaccess file, set by FrontPage it seems.

  Sorry, I didn't specify correctly.
  
  I meant try renaming the original .htaccess file to something else like original.htaccess in case you need it.
  
  Then upload a new .htaccess file with the upload max fie size coding.

  First of all, I wouldn't recommend removing stuff in it without knowing what it's for just because it's created by FrontPage. They're Apache directives, the first telling it to ignore the sorts of folders FrontPage creates for itself if directory iindexing is allowed. It's harmless, mostly directory listing would be off anyway.
  The second block is a set of allow/deny rules for POST and GET requests. I guess it's automatically generated, because it says
  deny from all
  allow from all
  which cancels each other out. Deny everybody, but also allow everyone. Huh?
  
  Anyway, I had time to look it up. The syntax I listed is how it is in the PHP.ini file.
  To put it in the htaccess file, which belongs to the Apache server, it needs to be told it's a PHP directive. So:
  

  Code

  php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
  
  # -FrontPage-
  IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
  
  .htaccess
  <Limit GET POST>
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  allow from all
  </Limit>
  <Limit PUT DELETE>
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  </Limit>

  
  I installed UpDownloads to have a look, since if that failed it's possible to give the directive in the script.
  The above worked. UpDownloads keeps it's files in its module folder, so you may also have the .htaccess file in the UpDownloads folder instead. Either way should be fine.
  Note: All this assumes the server isn't set up to ignore htaccess files, which some hosts might. You then either ask your host to allow them for you.
  
  One more thing:
  UpDownloads has a config file where it also sets max fileupload size. It's located in modules/UpDownload/includes/config.php
  Change the $limit_size variable so it reads:
  

  Code

  //Filesize-Limit for Upload
  $size_limit = "yes"; //do you want a size limit yes or no. (PHP has got a size-limit too -> see phpinfo() )
  $limit_size = "104857600"; // 100Mb // "2097152"; //How big do you want size limit to be in _bytes_ (1024 byte = 1 kbyte)
  //STOP: A limit is not only set by this variable but may be set by your server through the
  //PHP-variable "upload_max_filesize", too !!!!!

  
  Notice how it gives the size in Bytes, so 100Mb is 100x1024x1024 = 104857600 bytes. The old value is 2097152, which is 2Mb.
  
  Well, that should do it.
  
  Martin
