upload_max_filesize how can I ?

[cc96ai]

Hi ,
I m PHP 5.2.0 / Apache
and I can't access php.ini

I try to update .htaccess
and added
php_value upload_max_filesize "25M"
php_value post_max_size "25M"

However it will give me "Internal Server Error"

>From the log file , i can see the error msg

[Mon Jan 22 14:57:57 2007] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1]
C:/work/www/Joomla-1.0.11_eCommerceEdition_VM-1.0.7/.htaccess: Invalid
command 'php_value', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration, referer:
http://joomla/administrator/index2.php?option=com_docman&section=config

so I searched on web and try again.. and update the .htaccess

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value max_execution_time "60"
php_value upload_max_filesize "25M"
php_value post_max_size "25M"
</IfModule>

No Error msg, but nothing change.

then I searched again ....

updated php code - ini_set()

print "b4 ".ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
ini_set("upload_max_filesize" , "10M");
print "<br/>after ".ini_get('upload_max_filesize');

which I got the same "2M" from the php code

anyone have any idea where should I go ? is this php5 problem ?
or i did something wrong ?

I dont think you need the quotes inside the htaccess file.

It should be:
php_value post_max_size 25M

Base on the following info, i think we cannot overwrite .htaccess in PHP/CGI mode, is that correct ?

Don't believe you can use the php_value, php_admin_value, php_flag, or php_admin_flad directives if you're runing as CGI. Those are Apache directives, but in CGI mode Apache calls the php binary, which turn reads php.ini. Since the binary doesn't read httpd.conf it has no effect on PHP. As PHP isn't loaded into Apache, Apache doesn't know what to do with the directives and borks. HTH.

You could indeed be correct.

However if I think correctly - with php running as a cgi, you can specify your own php.ini locally! Thats all I know - you will have to read up on it via google etc.

cc96ai is correct you can only use the php_value or php_flag or any of the other php_* directives in a .htaccess if PHP is loaded as an Apache Module.
