[Archon-L] Digital library problem

[Chris Prom]

john,

I was able to upload a smallis file, but anything over 700KB 
files. You can delete the file I uploaded.

The basic problem here, is that there is a memory limit on your 
server which won't allow files larger than about 600KB to be 
uploaded.  We corrected some of these problems in subsequent 
releases of the software by introducing better memory mangement 
for the application as a whole. So, I'd really recommend that you 
upgrade to a more recent version of the software.

However, it can also be addressed on your server side by bumping 
up php's memory limit to something like 48 megabytes.  Your 
server admin should know how to do that or you may be able to do 
it yourself in the php.ini file.

We will be releasing version 2.1 in a couple weeks, as soon as I 
finish the documentation, so you may want to wait to upgrade at 
that time.

Thanks,

Chris
