i also just tried to upload a file of 4MB and it get me to the posting page without the file. For a file of 500kb everything went fine..

Thank you.
I think thats a question haha.
You need to change the php.ini file.
You probably can do it with a .htaccess as well but, I'm not sure how to do that but a quick google search will tell you
Hope that helps!
i changed it to 120MB.. but i still get the invalid forum error..
i edited php.ini and restarted apache.. i am missing sth?
You need to change a number of variables, not just the max upload size.
Use this guide as a reference:
Quote:For example, to increase the limit on uploaded files to 10 MB:
- Add the below to the relevant php.ini file (recommended, if you have access). Note that for some hosts this is a system-wide setting. However, for hosts running PHP as a CGI script with suexec (for example) you may be able to put these directives in a php.ini file in your Drupal root directory.
- upload_max_filesize = 10M ;
- post_max_size = 20M ;
The PHP documentation states that the memory_limit setting also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size. If this is an issue, see the page on how to Increase memory in your php.ini

nope.. i changed post_max_size and memory_limit but nothing changed
If uploading 4MB and 20MB are giving different results, there may be a memory issue on your server.
My server has 1.5GB DDR2 memory.. and runs on SuSE 10.2
i tried also an 10MB file and i get the same error..
with an 5MB and 3MB file it returns to the post page without adding the attachment..
