Chevereto supports only 2MB Max Upload size

👽 Chevereto Freak
I recently purchased Chevereto through Arvixe hosting. But to my surprise I saw this

Max. allowed 2 MB
Max. allowed filesize. (Max allowed by server is 2 MB)

The whole point of me buying Chevereto was to replace my age old CF Image hosting script which supports up to 30MB on my current shared hosting server.
 
The limit is not about Chevereto, is default host setting. Any script can support any file upload size but the php.ini at your server seems to be limited at 2MB so Chevereto can't override that. You must send a support ticket and ask your hosting to increase that limit.
 
I have forwarded the request to Arvixe.

But why would they do that? 2MB for a image hosting is joke. I bought Arvixe hosting since I thought it was the "Ideal" hosting company for Chevereto.
 
Because 2MB is the default setting in php.ini since ages and is each host call how much or less they tweak the php.ini default limits.
 
I had used Godaddy, Hostgator and Justhost. All of which worked fine on 30MB upload of my CF Image hosting script.
 
Like I said, forward your questions to Arvixe. Some hosters allows PHP (script layer) to override that setting in execution, I havent tested if Arvixe allows that but 2 MB is a safe value in a shared server. You should not put 30 MB in a shared server, ever.
 
Hey mkerala2,

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you. However, please provide me your Arvixe username and we will go in and increase your limit ASAP. Additionally, we are going to increase this limit by default for Chevereto installations.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Please increase it to at least 50MB.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was searching for good hosting offer from Godaddy or Hostgator if you guys don't take my request.
 
mkerala2,

Thanks for the information. Your limit will be increased to the requested 50MB.

We're also looking in to the 'Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /home/mkerala/public_html/lib/G/classes/class.db.php on line 67' on your site. Please be patient while we look into this.
 
By default our server's max is 512MB, not 2MB. It turns out the 2MB max is set in Chevereto and this limit can be easily changed in your Chevereto dashboard by going to Dashboard > Settings > Image Upload. You can set this value up to 512MB since that's Arvixe's default max limit.

We have changed this value for you.
 
When I was there I saw was this when I tried to change to 50MB.

Max. allowed 2 MB
Max. allowed filesize. (Max allowed by server is 2 MB)

Now it has been changed to
Max. allowed filesize. (Max allowed by server is 512 MB)

Anyway thanks.
 
I think now arvixe allows us to edit php.ini. Just look in Cpanel for php settings.

That's correct. There are a few methods to do this.

Recommended: cPanel > PHP Settings > Click to create PHP.ini and change whatever values needed.

Easy: Create a php.ini file and do the following:

PHP:
max_execution_time = 60;
memory_limit = 256M;
upload_max_filesize = 256M;
post_max_size =  256M;

Always in megabytes, for example 1GB will be 1024M

For the nerds (or if you need to edit a lot of variables): Place this php.ini (rename to just php.ini) file in /home/<username> (not inside public_html) and add this to your .htaccess file:

PHP:
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/<username>/php.ini


Then go to your Chevereto dashboard => Settings => Image Upload => Max. filesize (MB)

Lazy? Okay.. http://yoursite.com/dashboard/settings/image-upload

After following everything here I have discovered that just creating the php.ini file causes the PDO error on line 67. As for using the recommended way, I couldn't find the correct area in the cPanel.
