Uploading big files > 512MB (as set by default)¶
It’s usefull to know limiting factors, that make it impossible to exceed the values given to the ownCloud-system:
Not outnumberable upload limits:¶
- < 2GB on 32Bit OS-architecture
- < 2GB with IE6 - IE8
- < 2GB with Server Version 4.5 or older
- < 4GB with IE9 - IE10
Other recommendable preconditions:¶
- make sure, that the latest version of php (at least 5.4.9) is installed
Enabling uploading big files¶
Note: The order of the following steps is important! If you swap steps or substeps described below, the settings may fail.
Go to the admin section in the ownCloud-WebUI and do the following:
- Under “File handling” set the Maximum upload size to the desired value (e.g. 16GB)
- Klick the “save”-Button
Open the php.ini - file
- Under Debian and derivates this file lies at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Do the following:
- Set the following three parameters inside th php.ini to the same value as choosen inside the admin-section one step before:
- upload_max_filesize = 16G (e.g.)
- post_max_size = 16G (e.g.)
- output_buffering = 16384
whereas the “output_buffering” has to be given in Megabytes but as a plain figure (without size-units as ‘M’ or ‘G’)
This configurations have been prooven by test up to filesizes of 16 GigaBytes.
