Hi
I am very new to Drupal. I am having trouble uploading our 2009 Tax documents as a PDF into the Site. Everytime I upload our 990, it throws an error saying "There is not enough space". I talked to Dreamhost who is our host provider and we have unlimited space according to them.

Where in Drupal would have to look to make sure that I can upload my 990 into the webpage to have it visible.

I am not sure if this is the place to put these discussions or ask for help. So, I apologize if this is not the place to do this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

file attachments

Drupal has a setting that controls the size and type of file attachment allowed. It could be that your attachment is too large for that setting.

You'll find the setting under Site Configuration>File Uploads.

This isn't really the place for that sort of question, but what the heck, you're here now.

It's also possible that the file upload size is set too low in the php.ini settings. Or, while I would expect a different kind of error, perhaps the permissions are set wrong on the files directory so the webserver doesn't have access to write to it.

File Attachments

I looked at the site configuration, file uploads and it is set to 7MB which is the max per user. So, that is all good. The file size is not 7MB by no means. So not sure where I can look...Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

"Per User"

Just to clarify, the 7MB per user limit means that each user can only upload 7MB total (a total of all the attachments they upload). So if a user upload seven 1MB files, they will not be able to upload an eighth.

Where am I?

PHP settings

It is likely that your PHP settings restrict the upload to 2MB. This is the default in most setups unless you've changed it.

This document is a useful resource:

PHP Settings on Dreamhost

You can override your PHP settings on a Dreamhost account to increase your upload limit. Instructions are available in their Support Wiki: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini

And for the record, the correct place to be looking for support is one of the following:

Loading Images using picture option while editing

laxmig's picture

Hi
I am trying to insert an picture while editing an article on a page using the Rich text format, I click on the Insert/Edit Image button on the screen (moutain looking like icons) in the editor window. It opens up to a new window called Image Properties. Here, I click on the Browse Server button which takes me to a location where all my images are. When I get there, I am trying to upload a image file.

Underneath the "Upload button" it states - "Limits: File size: 100 KB, Dimensions = 500x500, Quota = 4.88MB/5000 KB. " So, when I try to load the file even though they are within the size limits, it says - "You do not have enough free space". From what I understand from my host provider, I have unlimited space due to my Non Profit status.

when I look for directory location for this, it states - http://mydomain.org/imce/browse or directory:sites/mydomain.org/files/imce_images

So, I want to know how I can get this in there and fix the size, so it can accomodate more files and bigger files. Please let me know.

Thanks
Laxmi
