Hi Colin, | |||
I am editing the links as I type, and I too was thinking about the overall size and complexity of this page. What I am aiming to do with this is get a single Docs page that gives people the information needed to set their server up to allow greater file size uploads. The language and settings should transcend OS and / or web server versions; as we are dealing with either / or Apache and PHP settings; these are common across all OS. | |||
Where we are going to run into difficulty is going to be trying to provide a document for all the hundreds of variations of ways of doing this on hosted servers. I think for these cases we need to arm the reader with enough information to take back to their hosting provider to find out how they will allow it to be done...

Hi Jon, | Hi Jon, | ||
I agree with Chris there, the placing of a link off to other pages for those elements makes sense, leads people to using the Docs a little better. This would also reduce the eventual size of this page a lot - something I have become more aware of recently as a consideration I should be making. | I agree with Chris there, the placing of a link off to other pages for those elements makes sense, leads people to using the Docs a little better.

The main block still, I suggest, should be first and that discusses what values need be changed, with a brief explanation of how those values control the upload process possibly, and what they can be changed to. These values, I think, are constant throughout Apache/PHP environment, and I am not sure what they would be in the IIS/PHP environment. Do they retain the same names throughout all environments? What differences are there between different Linux Apache implementations? Are there differences? Or is it just a matter of different approaches to editing? Cheers. --[[User:Colin Fraser|Colin Fraser]] 21:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC) | The main block still, I suggest, should be first and that discusses what values need be changed, with a brief explanation of how those values control the upload process possibly, and what they can be changed to.

Hi Colin,
I am editing the links as I type, and I too was thinking about the overall size and complexity of this page. What I am aiming to do with this is get a single Docs page that gives people the information needed to set their server up to allow greater file size uploads. The language and settings should transcend OS and / or web server versions; as we are dealing with either / or Apache and PHP settings; these are common across all OS.
Where we are going to run into difficulty is going to be trying to provide a document for all the hundreds of variations of ways of doing this on hosted servers. I think for these cases we need to arm the reader with enough information to take back to their hosting provider to find out how they will allow it to be done... Jon Witts 21:24, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jon, I agree with Chris there, the placing of a link off to other pages for those elements makes sense, leads people to using the Docs a little better. This would also reduce the eventual size of this page a lot - something I have become more aware of recently as a consideration I should be making.
The main block still, I suggest, should be first and that discusses what values need be changed, with a brief explanation of how those values control the upload process possibly, and what they can be changed to. These values, I think, are constant throughout Apache/PHP environment, and I am not sure what they would be in the IIS/PHP environment. Do they retain the same names throughout all environments? What differences are there between different Linux Apache implementations? Are there differences? Or is it just a matter of different approaches to editing?

Hi Jon, I would put links to the list of levels (excellent) so users can view other pages.
Server level (this page) Moodle site level (site administration block>security>site policies) Course level (course administration block>settings Activity level (for some activities, update activity link) --Chris collman 20:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Chris - good idea. I will add those links in... Jon Witts
