File Manager file size issue

I'm having an issue uploading a file using the File Manager. File size is 10.5MB. I have permissions 777 on my upload folder, $config['max_upload_size'] = 50000000; in my config.php, files < 10MB upload fine using File Manager.

Any file over 10MB gives me the error "File could not be uploaded. Permissions problem?". I have plenty of drive space.

Is this some kind of caching problem with config.php not reading the max upload size?

Problem solved. The value for upload_max_filesize in my host's php.ini was too low. At wishy's suggestion, I used an .htaccess file in doc root to override the php.ini values by adding the following two lines to my .htaccess file:

php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value upload_max_filesize 128M

Once I did this, I was able to upload fine using CMSMS File Manager.

NOTE: calguy1000 told me that his uploads module is also bound by this limitation, so if you run into a similar problem, something like this could help solve it.

uploads over 10MB is critical,

Why you don't use ftp?
