.zip / upload problem

[Lady Jaiven]

Hi...
I have a little problem, hope someone can help
A part of my gallery hosts free items in .zip format. I uploaded 4 items, which were all under 700kb and they worked fine. When I try to upload my 5th one - a 6 mb file, it seems to be uploading and then 30 mins later (I am on dialup:)), it says...

Select an Image File!

I didn't run into that problem w/the other zip files.. why did it happen w/that one ? And how do I fix it so that I can upload that file ?

Thanks
~ Jai

This might be a probleme of your php.ini that there is a limit of 2 MB on your upload request.

Hmm.. where is that file so I can edit it ? I don't see it in the listings... unless I overlooked it ?

I'm assuming that, because you're using a dial-up connection to reach the web server, you're using a paid or free web host and that you do not have the ability to install php on the box, etc.

php.ini is a configuration file for php itself.  It is not part of 4images.  Ask you host if there is a file size limit on uploads and then tackle the problem with that info.  If it's a host imposed limit, you'll have to work with smaller files or plead your case with your host as it's not under the control of 4images.  If not, then repost with the info you get from your host and maybe someone can find a solution.
