Changing the uploadmaxfilesize in php.ini. The fileuploads should be set to “on” and “Maximum allowed size for uploaded files” should be set to the file size that you need. I tried this process bit I am still getting file is too large message. What other solution do i have. I am just trying to upload PFD with 8MB size. Jun 18, 2012 Setting the maximum file size in PrestaShop 1.5 is easily done by performing the following instructions. To set the max file attachment size in PrestaShop 1.5: Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 admin dashboard. Using the top menu bar, hover over the Administration tab and select the Preferences option.
Hi gary jeffery,
I apologize that it took us more time than usual to reply to your question.
If I have understood correctly you are unable to send a small Excel file attached to your email and you receive a message saying 'the file is too large'. Let me help you with that. It is possible that the file attachment in your email exceeds the allowed file size limit in Outlook.com for free and paid accounts which is 25 MB per email. I would advise you to try the SkyDrive service for sending files. SkyDrive is a password-protected online file storage service. If you install Silverlightand then try to upload a large file, you will have the ability to upload your files to SkyDrive. Then, you can just send a link of the files to your contacts and eliminate any concerns about attachment file size or file types.
To get started with SkyDrive, click here.
If you still prefer to send files as attachments to your emails, you can try doing one of the following steps to reduce the file size and attach it to an email:
- Try using a file compression utility, such as WinZip.
- Divide the file into two or more smaller files, and then send each file with an individual message.
If you are trying to send a media file such as a movie clip, you might be able to compress this file because of its characteristic large size.
Hope this helps. Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
Thank you.
1. this is a wordpress installation from Microsoft Web Installer, running IIS server
2. Microsoft found and bundled this wordpress and installed it and got it to the famous 5 minute install page.
3. Trying to upload my theme (no company name, just some theme) that was 5MB? fail! upload size exceeds the size in php.ini.there IS NO!!! php.ini file.
I create one and put it in the root and several folders. save, stop, reset, run, same thing.
4. get the widget file size uploader expander or whatever its called. run it? textbox to set the max file size? 64MB? no effect still failed.
5. solution 1: just put the zip file directly into the themes folder. problem solved.
NOW????
6. Need to import the existing website, so run import, it shows upload size limit: 2M
ok where is this 2M coming from? how can this be changed?
OR, ALTERnATE solution, can the other website in MAMP/Apache be copied into this IIS based installation?
I knowing nothing about Microsoft IIS other than the fact it is different than Apache…
https://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+iis+php+wordpressThere’s nothing different about Microsoft IIS, nor Apache in this setting or even NGINX. PHP setup is pretty much always the same and what you can or cannot do without on an user level depends on webserver admins. By default there is indeed no php.ini file in wordpress. Hence the error you get refers the global php.ini that’s probably in the c:program filesphp either c:PHP … webserver admin issue indeed.
With regards to the other website and bypassing the import bug without messing too much with settings and a diversity of freemium wordpress plugins? I prefer using FTP + https://www.google.com/search?q=bigdump
There is no export size limit. There is however a limit for how long a php script can run (max_execution time); the dreadful timeout issue. Increase it to 300 instead of the default 60 usually does the trick for most small to medium based sites and most definitely is going to solve uploading large XML / SQL files although you can bypass that with ‘bigdump’. Old, but works great / better when you are familiar with phpmyadmin. If not that, than this https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/ is useful.
With regards to tracing the php.ini file (where search seems to fail). This seems like an useful resource: https://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis
WP is nothing less and nothing more than a bunch of PHP files with (in most cases) MySQL. As long IIS supports that, there is no reason why it would not support WordPress for the next decades. See: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
MAMP / LAMP / XAMPP is all the same (stack, different OS). In IIS? Everything is different; as you pointed out already. However once you have MySQL and PHP setup it’s quite easy? Not sure; never tried IIS myself. Also the only environment where I’ve seen WordPress run on IIS, is enterprise. Not because it’s better or more stable, but because it ran next to other things they needed that were running .NET / .ASP (and favor IIS). Hence it’s worth pursuing when you are Visual Studio developer.
