Re: [Tiki-users] Maximum file upload size

I agree that there should be a UI message that explains why an upload 
failed.

Some things you may want to check:

- Use the Server check to review all the relevant settings.

- Review the server logs, as they may provide detailed information on 
the failure.

- Are you using a quota for the file gallery?

- Are you storing the files in the DB? You may need to change the field 
type to LONGBLOB and you may need to increase the max_allowed_packet 
accordingly.

Have you reviewed the docs, especially:

- https://doc.tiki.org/Server-Check

- https://doc.tiki.org/Upload-file-size

- https://doc.tiki.org/Why-File-Uploads-May-Fail

HTH,
