Increasing squirrelmail maximum attachment size

November 20, 2007

Hi,

Its is very natural that users may some day wana upload files that are bigger in size than squirrelmail’s default 2 MB limit.

so to increase the limit of upload , just do the following things.

  1.  Locate your php.ini.
  2. open file is some editor.
  3. Search for upload_max_filesize.
  4. Change 2M to something else, for example 5M.
  5. If the upload_max_filesize is larger than post_max_size, you must increase post_max_size so that it’s bigger than upload_max_size
  6. If the value of post_max_size is larger than memory_limit, you must increase memory_limit so that it’s larger than post_max_size.
  7. Save your changes to the file.
  8. Restart your apache web server.

and enjoy using squirrelmail.
