Increasing upload limit in Open Atrium

[WARNING: This blog is a bit geeky] …and it’s about Open Atrium again!

I struggled with this one for a while and it really depends somewhat on your server set up but here’s how I managed to increase my file upload limits on a Heart Internet hosting account:

1. ) This is worth doing if you need to make minor changes to the Atrium admin: Allow variable overrides in the Strong Arm Module here: admin/settings/strongarm

2. ) In the root of your website (so inside public_html or something like that) add a PHP5.ini file with the following inside it:

memory_limit=124M
upload_max_filesize=200M
post_max_size=400M

…obviously replace the limits with your required details

The ‘5′ bit in PHP5.ini is the bit that caught me out, it’s normally just PHP.ini but my host requires the 5 if the site is using PHP 5, strange because the actual files (eg settings.php) don’t need to change. But it works.
