Increase upload max size in Nextcloud

[zjuhasz]

I'm getting an error when I try to upload large files (it won't tell me which file is failing so I'm not exactly sure how large) to Nextcloud. I think it has something to do with a general php setting (php.ini) and not something set in Nextcloud itself but I have no experience with php so I'm not sure.

I think if I can get the associated attribute here "Upload max size" to increase it will solve my problem but I don't know how to set it. This is under settings -> administration -> system

You can edit the htaccess file using the file manager into the app or the /app/data/htaccess file when using the webterminal and add

php_value upload_max_filesize 10G

to the <IfModule mod_php7.c> section (adjust the 10G to whatever works for your case)

Then just refresh the browser and you should see the value updated.

I think that worked, thanks. By the way, unrelated issue but it looks like the file browser is having trouble. When I go to file manager in Nextcloud config it says "Cloudron error file not found". This apps data was moved to a different disk on the system from the install disk so that might have something to do with it.

Anyway I added the setting you said using the console and it seems to be working.

Indeed that is a known bug and you can track that at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/722
We will fix this hopefully for version 5.5

This is fixed in 5.5. Should be out late this week or early next week.

@nebulon I just tried this myself and when I refreshed the browser the the php value did not update. I don't have to restart any services for this to take effect?

An update. I goofed and it's working now. My first try I navigated to app/data/.htaccess and there was no

<IfModule mod_php7.c>

I noticed that there is both and htaccess and a .htaccess and I was in the incorrect file.
