I have added pdf file attachments up to 2.3 Mb, but when I try to add a pdf of 11.3Mb the attachment seems to time out, the item content is there, but the attachment never gets loaded. www.ctwa.org is the url. maxupload size is set to 256 Mb. and Joomla maximum file size is set to 20000000.

Am I missing another setting that limits the size or time for adding attachments to and item?

Try changing your php max_execution_time  variable to much higher than it is currently

Thanks William,  I am still looking for a place to put php max_execution_time. I tried .htaccess but that caused the site to not load. I tried adding a php.ini file and adding that variable to it, but that made no change. I am just starting to learn Joomla and K2, so i am still learning the ropes.

Try php_max_execution_time {value} in .htaccess

I added combinations of the following, but when i point a browser to the url i get an internal server error respons.

the php version is reported to be 5.2.14

 

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M php_value post_max_size 20M php_value max_execution_time 200 php_value max_input_time 200

 

It now appears that I do not have access to change any of the php_value variables. That 11Mb pdf was to big anyway. Thanks for the help
