I am trying to upload PDFs in the media manager that are all under 5mb. I have the global cofiguration set to 10mb max.
This should be working, any thoughts?

- Retired, but build and run websites for organisations of school leaders and others - e.g. http://www.icponline.org, http://www.aspa.asn.au, http://www.appa.asn.au
- I'd like to know about this as well. I have never been able to upload any file over about 1.25Mb. :'( So I always use FTP for uploading either large files or multiple files.

- i guess, the question is why are you uploading the pdfs to your site? There more of a documentation to look at/print local to help get things setup.

- I make pdfs of the papers from the conferences that I attend in my role as conference reporter and then make them available from links on various pages of the website. These pdfs are not part of the Joomla or Rockettheme installation. I think that this question is more for Joomla than for RT.

Oh sorry, I thought you were referring to the documentation PDFs we make available with each template release. I'm not 100% sure what the joomla setting changes, but there's a setting for max file upload in your php.ini file. You might need to change this:
In an .htaccess file in the same directory as the script, include this line:
php_value upload_max_filesize
where is the size of the allowable upload. For example, if the desired filesize is 10 meg, the following directive would be placed in the .htaccess:
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Thanks for that tip, Andy. Unfortunately, it did not change things at all for me. Never mind, I like FTP.
