links: File size exceeds maximum allowed size

Post by mkeller2 » Thu Mar 14, 2013 9:54 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to post a link to a PDF on my website, but I get the following error message:

File size exceeds maximum allowed size. File Name (4 MB) exceeds the maximum allowed size of 1024 KB.

Any suggestions? I'm relatively new to Joomla and don't understand why it won't post, as other PDFs of the same length are already on the site.

Thanks!

You can contact you hostings support and ask them to increase your maximum upload limit

max_upload_size
max_post_size

If you have access to the php.ini file you can edit that an increase the value of this two. Let me know if you got it right or not.
