"Filesize is too big" error message

[Lance O.]

I've checked the forums for an answer that works, but I can't seem to find one. Sorry for having to post this question.

Upon dragging and dropping an image into a file field in the PW admin, I receive a "Filesize 11594 kb is too big. Maximum allowed is 8192 kb." error. I've updated the PHP ini settings to the following, yet I'm still receiving the error:

file_uploads = On
max_execution_time = 120
max_input_time = 120
max_input_vars = 1000
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 50M

I'm using PW 3.0.33. What am I overlooking? Is there a PW config setting that I need to set?

Could be you need to increase post_max_size

[flydev]

Another little info : memory_limit must be > post_max_size to prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory.

And also the LimitRequestBody Apache's directive allows the user to set a limit on the allowed size of an HTTP request message body (set to 0 (illimited) by default).

[horst]

and post_max_size should be > than upload_max_filesize

add 10% - 20% for other postdata then uploaded files:
post_max_size = (max_file_uploads * upload_max_filesize) * 1.15

I'll try these suggestions. Thank you!
