Posted here as it seems a very closely related issue...
I'm working on Gallery as well (v2), and I would like to be able to upload files above 2Mb in size. I've followed TCH-Bruce's advice, code as follows:
><IfModule php_config>
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
</IfModule>
That's all that's in the .htaccess file in the gallery root. When the file is there I can't upload any images (there are no errors, even in debug mode), and when the file is not there I can - provided they are less that 2Mb of course!
This seems a weird one, and I haven't been able to find anything on the Gallery forums. Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks,
Pete
