Topic: Error uploading - file too big

We don’t seem to be able to upload files bigger than 2MB with our local installation of ConfTool Pro. What server configuration settings need to be changed?

If you are experiencing issues uploading files larger than 2MB, this is likely due to the default settings of your PHP configuration, which restrict the maximum upload size. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Check Your PHP Configuration
  • Download the “info.zip” file below and extract it.
  • Copy the extracted “info.php” file into your public ConfTool directory (the same directory as index.php).
  • Open the file in your browser by navigating to your ConfTool URL followed by /info.php (e.g., your-conference.com/info.php).

Locate the Following PHP Settings:
  • “upload_max_filesize": Defines the maximum size for individual file uploads.
  • “post_max_size": Specifies the maximum size for all POST data, including file uploads
  • “memory_limit”: Determines the maximum memory a script can use.

Adjust PHP Settings:
  • Open your php.ini file and check the entries for above mentioned settings.
  • Set the limit for these entries to a value above 10MB.
