Hi, I’m using the attachments extension in Radiant CMS to upload files  
and image I need to reference at inside my pages and I find it very  
useful!

But there’s a problem when uploading files larger than 1 MB: it doesn’t  
work and no error message is raised. I suppose it’s because the file  
size is too large for a file upload on the lighttpd web server I’m  
using. How can I increase this limit?

Thanks for your support!

Luca

Luca,

Thank you for prodding me about this. A bunch of people had problems  
with this about a month ago. The issue is that attachment\_fu uses a  
default max size of 1MB, but in this case there should be no problem  
with allowing larger attachments. The change should be complete in  
about an hour, then you can run `svn up`.

Ops, I talked too fastly!

Actually everything works perfectly if I use my local installation of  
radiant on my Mac but I’ve still problems working on the remote  
installation: it’s on a Windows Server 2003 machine. Here the problems  
occurs even with smaller files: let’s say with sizes around 12 or 13 KB!
