hi,

I would like to edit the .htaccess file. I would like to increase the

php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

But every time I edit the htaccess i get an server error 500 and my site doesnt work.

Can I edit the htaccess (containing all that rewwrite stuff) at all?

If so, where?

Thanks!

Either your host does not allow to set those values via htaccess or at all. Yes, you can edit the htaccess file naturally (you might need to do it again on updates) but you should know what you are doing and where you need to add. In this case these need to go before the Zenphoto stuff.

thanks.

Thing is, i dont know what I am doing

I tried to add

php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

at the beginning of the .htaccess file. That brought up the same Server Error 500.

Putting the lines at the end or in the middle didnt help, too.

My htaccess looks like this:

`

htaccess file version 1.4.3.1;

When Zenphoto requires changes to the rewrite rules:

First make a copy of this file as 'oldhtaccess' in the zp-core folder so setup can test for unmodified files

Update the above and the define in setup.php

IndexIgnore *

Now, where could i put my stuff?

thanks!

You should place it before the `` stuff. But make sure your host does actually allow to change these values via htaccess. Not all do.
