Hey guys,  
  
  
  
  
  
Do you know any reason why when i try go to upload a new asset, I see this:  
  
Upload a file (max filesize allowed = -2,147,483,648 bytes)  
  
  
  
Its negative which means I can’t upload anything.  
  
  
  
This is the error I get if I continue to try upload a file:  
  
Upload failed as the file is 0.07 MB which exceeds the maximum allowed file size of -2048 MB. This setting can be changed in the Configuration.  
  
  
  
PHP upload\_max\_filesize: 2G  
  
PHP upload\_max\_size: 4G  
  
PHP post\_max\_size: 500M  
  
Size defined in mautic is: 250MB

- This is an internal site and I am trying to upload a 67KB file  
  
  
  
  
  
Thanks

Haha,

Unfortunately I have to have such high settings as people upload videos (which can be over 1GB) on another app.

I’ll try lower them and see what happens.

Thanks 🙂

Awesome!

I have separated the php config for my sites so that specific site now has its own config (because of upload sizes)

Thanks for the help
