You can set the max upload size limit under "Edit Album"

.... and even then you'll have problems uploading files beyond 2mb per file by the standard upload. I wonder where that file limit is set? Maybe at the host site , but I'm not sure yet. Back to reading :)

In php.ini

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

Enjoy :)

php.ini is on the webserver. If you're hosting your website on someone's else server, you will need to contact your server admin for this info.

I have a question:

I have contacted my webhost provider and they told me that the limit is set to 2MB and unfortunately, they won't change it to a higher limit because it is systemwide on a shared webhost.

Is there a way to circumvent this problem as I have quite a few video file that can easily exceed this limit?

Thanks,

Devin

There certainly is.

Check this link:-

Worked fine for me. Backup your .htaccess file before you edit it in case you make a mistake.

Also worth checking out this script:

and a couple of others on that site :)

Be sure to check with your host first though!
