VIDEO UPLOAD IN DOLPHIN

Hi anillll!

Try to do the following:

Set up the max file size in /etc/php.ini. It's called upload_max_filesize and is written in bytes.

Good luck!

thanks a lot lyubovl and dosdawg.

I hate to ask what must be a VERY basic question, but I am trying to follow the above instructions on how to increse the max video size, but I do not know how to edit a file. Is there an editor in the admin panel? Should I access my site through ftp and then somehow edit? Should I download the file to my local computer, open it in a word editor and then reload it? Also, I can't find the /etc/php.ini file. Thank you.

YES you can FIX this !
_______
go into php.ini

______
post_max_size = 8m ( change it 50m)
*
upload_max_filesize = 2m (change it 50m)
______
those are the 2 you should change in php.ini and then refresh your server or restart your server and voila or leave website and then go back to website and it should be good
_______
PS=*dont forget after changing the 2m to 50m save it*

What file types does the video uploader accept?

This is NOT all, you need to go into RAysuite and change max upload file size to whatever you change php.ini to.... otherwise its pointless.

I know there will be an easy answer - but WHERE is the php.ini file located please?

Thanks guys,

Trevor

Yes, WHERE is the php.ini file ?

in your dolphin root folder

some servers hide them from you. if you have shell access, you can access your site that way, use a utility called putty. it prompts for a username and password, this would be the same if you were signing in through ftp. you navigate with keystrokes rather than the mouse.

cd = change directory
to open a file you can use the nano editor
at the prompt you should be in the directory and see the file named php.ini

at the prompt you will give the command--> nano php.ini

this will open up see more the editor

not saying this is the only way, just listing one way.

the way i prefer is to have notepad ++ installed as well as netdrive.

notepad++ is the shiznit when it comes to open sourced editors.

netdrive will create a virtual drive on your local machine and allows you to use notepad++ to edit whatever files are in that virtual drive. i.e. php.ini

you would open it just as if it were located on your local machine, edit it and save it. when you save it, it will save through the virtual drive onto the server. kewl thing is this. it if wacks out, you can do the ol faithful Ctrl + Z to undo the error.

there are many other ways to accomplish this task. i think notepad++ and netdrive are by far the greatest combination of tools available.

If you have a server that has php config in the C Panel go there and create one...Dolphin doesn't come with a built in php.ini. , then configure the brand new (php.ini.default) that is the actual way you will see it in your public html panel. Code edit the (php.ini.default) by selecting (CTRL-F) type the word "upload", without the quotes or you can manually search for it....Once you find it you will see a max file size of (2M) Notice it won't say (2MB), only (2m), Change your file size see more to whatever your server will allow....generaly speaking shared servers will allow a max file size of (64), and no more. So if you want more you may need your own server...$$$$$$$. After you change the file size...save your changes, close out and rename (php.ini.default) to (php.ini) I hope that helps good luck.

is there an easier way than the php.ini thing?
cause my webhost says that only experienced users should have access to that file. If something goes wrong they will NOT help to fix it...

I am having issues with this also and am trying to figure this out but not having any luck. Any suggestions?

JamesTAldridge if i leave the name php.ini.default over to change it, will it work? or i HAVE to rename it to php.ini....

ray/global/app/files........change permission on ffmpeg.exe to 777
ray/global/chat/files......change files permission to 777
ray/global/app/files do the same
ray/global/app/im do the same
ray/global/app/movie do the same
ray/global/app/mp3 do the same
ray/global/app/music do the same
Change the "file" folder permissions on all of those to 777.

.htaccess file in the root folder -
From line 3 to line 14 put this there:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_globals see more Off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag allow_url_include Off
php_flag register_globals Off
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value output_buffering On
php_value max_execution_time 600000000
php_value max_input_time 700000000
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 14400000

You can change the size and time to what you want. It all worked for me and my site is fully functional.
I hope that helped.
