You are right and I am now curious.

I am going to look to see if there is some version of “HTML for dummies” and see if I can use it.

Thanks,
AG

THANK YOU!

That worked quite well and I can adjust the size too …..
I have to say that I am profoundly ignorant of programing … but I like this.

Thank you,
AG

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT … my compliments!

I found the file here:
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (it had the infamous file size restriction of 2M). I changed the following code lines:

memory_limit = 128M (no change needed here, it was already set at 128M)
post_max_size = 60M (it was set at 8M)
upload_max_filesize = 60M (it was set at 2M)

I was trying to upload a 50MB PDF file which now is uploaded. Now, I have to figure out what I need to have it show in a nice window within the page with a nice slider on the right.

Thank you,
AG

This is the content of /var/www/wp-admin/php.ini

memory_limit = 64M
post_max_size = 10M
upload_max_filesize = 10M

It’s not working … what have I done wrong and/or what am I missing?

Thanks,
AG

OK, I accept that so does anyone know how an Ubuntu server running nothing but a fresh install of LAMP and WordPress limits the upload size of a file?

Anyone … I would very much appreciated!!!
AG

I am the hosting company. I have static IPs and these WordPress servers are running on Ubuntu and are both in my office. I installed all the software, Ubuntu and WordPress and I have access to the physical server.

I am the hosting company and WordPress software is the only thing which limits the file size. I am hoping to find somebody who knows, from experience, where the limit code is and knows how to modify it.

Thanks,
AG

Problem fixed and here is the cause:

Permission for WordPress folders and files was incorrect. To fix that the following command was used:

sudo chown -R www-data:username /var/www

I still don’t know what has changed in the installation of the current WordPress 9.3.1 which requires this manual step and which was automatic by the install process of WordPress 3.5.1

I suppose they needed to fix something which was working!

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I have been using sudo gedit which lets me do whatever editing I wand but I don’t know many commands to do the rest. I have been looking for a GUI fila management tool I will try Nautilus.
Thanks,

That is exactly what I thought however, Amy knows better. I tried and they both coexist peacefully, no conflict.

AG

Interesting note:

Both WordPress and TeamViewer use pot 80. and no other port is opened on the system. Shouldn’t this be a conflict?

AG

The website works as expected. It now runs on an Ubuntu 10.04 which also has a GUI. It is public at https://www.domain.xxx and it can also be accessed locally on the server with a browser. Next step install TeamViewer and see it they coexist in peacefully.

The only problem I found is that when I did:

sudo tar -xzvf wordpress-3.3.2.tar.gz

it created a wordpress directory and, as before with latest.tar.gz, it put all the files inside it. I still had to move each file out of there and into /www/

Is there any way to tar it in place without having it make a directory?

AG

govpatel,
Thanks,
AG

ClaytonJames,
Thanks, you confirmed my deductions based on observation. I will post the results but, I believe that by installing WordPress in /var/www/ the system will behave as expected and will respond correctly to:

https://www.damain.xxx

The rest of the installation, MYSQL, Apache2 and PHP and creating the database will remain the same. It should work and … we shall see.
Thanks,
AG

OK, if anybody wants to jump in here would be helpful. It sams that I know how to build a server which can live on Internet and respond to https://www.domain.xxx/wordpress with the right response and it works. All I have to do now is figure out how to eliminate the need for /wordpress. Anyway, I will figure it out and perhaps I will be able to help the next person.
Thanks,
AG

You are correct, I don’t have experience with Linux but, it is changing as we … type. Anyway, I was hoping that somebody knows how to build a WordPress server, not a localhost let’s play server, and I assumed that this forum might be the place. Perhaps I am mistaken, it will not be the first of last time.
Thanks,
AG
