AFAIK, the limit has to be modified in two files; last time I did that personally on a cPanel server, I had to do it in two different places. I'll ask the tech that usually does that for me as soon as he gets back online.

100 Mb is rather huge unless the upload takes place on a LAN (intranet). The script may time out after a certain number of minutes. You can get round this with set_time_limit - if your host allows.

Watch out for server timeouts. You can set a certain timelimit (in milliseconds) for page timeout.

in all honesty you would be far better off to get the uploads via ftp then use php to process the uploaded file.

HTTP was never meant for such large transfers.

Well its quite a small site, i am really looking for a simple solution, which is why i bought the script.

Does anyone know how to modify the time limit.

- which httpd.conf do i edit

Click to expand...

usually httpd.conf on a CPanel system is located in /usr/local/apache/conf/
Don't forget to restart Apache after you modify httpd.conf (service httpd restart).

- how to modify the time limit.

Click to expand...

in httpd.conf search for something like this:

Code:

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

No upload limit in httpd.conf.

In php.ini you need to look to these variables:

Code:

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
post_max_size =  55M ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
