Topic: Import only 20 files at a time

Hello I have users who are trying to import a lot of messages into roundcube web mail and they are limited to 20 files at a time. I already changed the 10mb limit and that is working for imports but I cannot get the import to allow more than 20 files. I changed this setting in the php.ini file and restarted but it still limits to 20 files. How can I change this behavior?

Re: Import only 20 files at a time

Didn't hear about "20 files" limit.

*) How did you change attachment size limit? Here's a FAQ tutorial: http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic464- … -size.html
*) What's the total file size of these 20 files?

Re: Import only 20 files at a time

I changed the attachment/upload size limit by following the FAQ tutorial you linked in your response. It worked perfectly by the way. Then I had users complaining they could only upload 20 .eml files at a time. I thought they must be large files and they were going over the new 100MB size limit. However I tested it myself to try and upload 27 .eml files that only equal 1.7MB in total. It uploads 20 and then stops. So I looked through the config files and in the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini I found a line that looks like this

; Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request
max_file_uploads = 20

I changed this from 20 to 500 and rebooted the server hoping this would work but it did not I can still only import 20 of the 27 files even though the size is only 1.7MB.

Thank you for your help I truly appreciate it.

Does it work if you set a override setting in file /usr/share/apache2/roundcubemail/.htaccess:

php_value max_file_uploads 30

It's better to restart Apache service after you add above setting.
