two areas i have questions, first is both (mis)max image size and (mps)max post size,  here is my current htaccess

 

as you can see i went in and added just a bit to it because my domain is tugging a bit..
i would like to make it 15mb post and 7mb upload if i could... now here is the second part...

i dont know how, this change is not affecting anything on my site that i can see and so do i have to add something to the php.ini as well, my ini has nothing in there regarding image sizes or the like, so not sure what yo do or how. thanks.

I altered the defaults by adding:
to the .htaccess file to tell suphp where the php.ini file is located. I then added
to the php.ini file to increase the filesize allowed.

Do not put php_value and php_flag entries in .htaccess. They must be moved to php.ini with the appropriate syntax change:
.htaccess
(or wherever your php.ini lives).

php.ini

Run the following script before and after creating php.ini, to confirm that it's being processed correctly:

hope this helps others, here is the answer i got from tech support..

Because we use suPHP to parse php files, you have the option of using a custom php.ini file.

Your account can have multiple php.ini files on your account in different folders so you can customize the php processing in different folders should your script require it. A php.ini file will not inherit down into subfolders, however, you can create a .htaccess file in the same folder as the php.ini file and place the following code into it:

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html/

where "username" is your cPanel username. This will cause the php.ini file to affect all subfolders, unless a php.ini file is in a subfolder, at which point the php.ini in the subfolder takes precedence.

In php.ini, you will need to use the actual php.ini syntax instead of the php_value or php_flag syntax you would normally use in .htaccess (Which should not be used at all):

setting_name = setting_value

So, this means if you move the settings from .htaccess to php.ini, you must convert the format. Let's say you have the following line in your .htaccess file:

php_value register_globals 0

the corresponding php.ini format is as follows:

register_globals = Off

Notice how the value 0 becomes Off and 1 becomes On. Now if your php_value has quotes like the following, for example:

php_value include_path ".:/home/user/lib"

The corresponding php.ini format is:

include_path = ".:/home/user/lib"

and so on. You should only use the settings you need to change in your php.ini.

For the PHP settings you do not have in your php.ini file, PHP will use our default configurations.

ok thanks bud, now going straight from their reply, this is what i have done and its still not working

i my root dir there is a php ini right,  ok not worried about that one, as per their reply i can put my own ini file in my sub dir if i want to, so that is what i did...

in my sub domain directory  i now have its own  php ini with the following (i hope i converted that htaccess code correctly)


memory_limit = 164MB
Register_globals= Off
post_max_size = 15MB
upload_max_filesize = 10MB
display_errors = Off

now im assuming that when i load that site page that it hits the sub dir php ini by default.   but just in case i put the following in my htaccess that is in the sub folder as a backup link


suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html/subfoldername/

and its still not working    

ok so lets take this one step at a time here, since my site is a sub domain it has a sub folder in that sub folder has an htaccess file, the very first line of that file now reads,

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/          x is my username

now when i load the site that tells the htaccess to look in the root directory for the php ini settings right...

now then

in my root directory in that php ini i have all the defaut zend stuff from lp at the top and under that i have


memory_limit = 164MB
post_max_size = 15MB
upload_max_filesize = 10MB
display_errors = Off
    

so it should work  but its not

ok got it!!!         

here is the deal

this goes in the phpini in the root   (you have to use M not MB

memory_limit = 164M
post_max_size = 15M
upload_max_filesize = 10M
display_errors = Off

Once the above has been completed, you will also need to add the following line to your .htaccess file (also located in the public_html directory):

this was my mistake because i kept adding this to the htaccess in the sub folder not the root...

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html

where "username" is your cPanel username. This will cause the php.ini file to effect all subfolders, unless a php.ini file is in a subfolder, at which point the php.ini in the subfolder takes precedence.


works perfect!!!!    hope this helps someone
