How to raise default max upload settings for
default registered users in PHPBB
A colleague of mine has experienced a problem with maximum upload
file size being up to
256 KiB in PhpBB
Apparantely the default settings for the PHPBB are that the maximum
attachment to be uploaded can be no bigger than
256
KiB
Guess the forum developers decided to set it to such a low value to
prevent Denial of Service attacks, anyways if you want to upload a
normal file nowadays it will be hardly under a few megabytes.
Thus I still doubt if this decision was really wise, anyways I had
to deal with the situation so I found the
256 KiB problem in
the PHPBB bug tracking system
you can read the thorough
thread here
In the mean time to quickly change the default phpbb restrictive
behaviour for your PHPBB forum, you should login with
administrator.
Then navigate to
Admin Control Panel (ACP) and follow the
following links to come to the place where you can define the
maximum file size for default users in phpbb.
ACP -> General -> Board configuration -> Attachment
settings -> Maximum file size
