when i try to upload files larger than 1 Mb i get this error message:

Failed to import file '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpIG2ZtX' to the file repository (unique file id: d3b8f3a78204c3ec2da408d61ce085219ca93019)

the strange thing is that below the form i see this message:
You can upload files of any type. Max filesize you are allowed to upload is 32MB

whats wrong?

If уоu are using MySQL storage engine don't forget to set max_allowed_packet value to something larger than 1MB. That is what limits you...

Hi,

Try /etc/my.cnf - I think this is where it's stored.

You'll need to be root though, or have your hosting provider change it for you.

Who's your hosting provider? Do you have access to your home folder? (i.e. - above public_html)

If so, I can probably help you.

i have activecollab installed at one of my computers in my LAN. It's a Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.6 (Intel) using MAMP (www.mamp.info)

Ah! It can be fixed then!

Add this to a line of your .htaccess in your root public_html or htdocs folder:

php_value memory_limit 32M

You can change the amount of memory, if you wish.

You need to set the value in MySQL configuration file (usually my.cnf). I don't know where that file is located...
