upload_max_filesize attachment

[gertudby]

Hi
I have the following settings

php.ini
----------------
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 18M

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 11M
----------------

.htaccess  (roundcubemail-0.2.1/.htaccess)
----------------
php_value       upload_max_filesize     5M
php_value       post_max_size   6M
php_value       memory_limit    64M
----------------

Even though I have a max limit on attachment at 2 Mb
Can anybody tell me or guide me in the right direction ?

Best Regards
Gert

thanks for the reply

I tried with the following settings

-----------------
my php.ini

max_execution_time = -1
max_input_time = -1
memory_limit = 384M
post_max_size = 27M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 25M

my .htaccess

php_value upload_max_filesize 25M
php_value post_max_size 27M
php_value memory_limit 384M
-----------------

I use RHEL, do you know any services I need to restart for it to work ? in other words, the settings above doesn't work.

BR

Is there anything in your RoundCube error log?

I get this error msg

I have these settings in

Hi
I found a solution

-----------------------
my php.ini

max_execution_time = -1
max_input_time = -1
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 128M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 96M

my .htaccess

php_value upload_max_filesize 96M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value memory_limit 512M
------------------------

Just tried with a 25Mb file, and it worked

stumbled over this FAQ  FAQ ? Roundcube Webmail

Can'I send messages with large attachments

The outgoing message is entirely composed in memory of the PHP process. Some PHP installations limit the amount of memory a single process can allocate. This will result in error messages like

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate ....

You need to increase the allowed memory size in php.ini or in the local .htaccess file by setting memory_limit 64M or even higher. It's actually a known problem (#1484660 (Attachment Excessive Memory Use Error) ? Roundcube Webmail) and we're looking for a better library than PEAR::Mail_mime to solve this.

decreased the attachment to

my php.ini

max_execution_time = -1
max_input_time = -1
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 18M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 11M

my .htaccess

php_value upload_max_filesize 11M
php_value post_max_size 18M
php_value memory_limit 128M

it worked with 10Mb file, but rc said can't attach 13mb (in the gui, not just the stalling message "sending message" forever)

Tried to decrease the memory_limit to 64M but then I couldn't even send a 8Mb file even though upload_max_filesize were 11M

Thanks for the errorlog hint
