Just thought I'd post a solution that I had to a problem
in case anyone else has the same issue.
Thanks Kenji for the solution.

I am running Xerte Onlinetoolkits 2.0 as localhost on my laptop rather than server based.
I was trying to upload archive files that were bigger than 8MB and was informed
by Xerte there was a limit of around 8MB.
We changed the limit by going into C drive > XAAMP > php > php.ini (there are a few php files, it was the configuration settings one)
Open it in wordpad or notepad and search for 'upload'. Change the limit from 2M to whatever you want. (not sure if this stage is redundant or not as the actual limit was around 8)
Then search for 'post_max_size' and the limit should be 8M.
Change this number to whatever size you like.

Hope this helps someone. Thanks.

Hi,
The problem here is I'm using WAMP, so I'm not sure this will be relevant here.
PHP.ini can be found in several places. One important one is under Apache2.x... This is the one you may have to change.
To be sure, I made the changes in all the php.ini I found :)

Just a bit of advert... WAMP is good, as in the systray you can modify very easily the famous php.ini. </advert off> :)

If I can help I will do for sure...
