I am looking at buying some software and it is a php file i have to host. I was looking at using this for it just i spoke to the developer and he says he tried to upload it and his account was banned when he tried because it went over the 10mb limit and the file is 13mb.
Is it possible to zip the file and then extract it so i can use it?
I just need the file hosted so i can access it as it will be embeded in chunks on another domain
Hi, welcome to the forum. The file size limit is 10MB per file. You can have up to 5GB of files. But each one can be no larger than 10MB. Anything over 10MB will be automatically deleted. Maybe try hosting it on Google Drive or Mega.nz and share the file so you can download it via a link on your site?
So it is an installer it contains all the files i just need to upload and run the script and it will install all the necessary files. If i do this by ftp due to size it should work?
As long as no single file exceeds the size limit you should be okay.
Another method you could try is performing the installation on a local environment (your computer) and after it’s finished, upload the resulting files to this hosting.
If I may ask, what exactly are you trying to install?
im trying to install a website. its a bunch of SEO tools I want to offer for free on my website. I just host it on this and then embed them onto my current site as my current provider doesn’t support PHP (Wix) so I’m looking at a workaround.
For example, you can run the packr expand install.php installer command in the same working directory to extract all of its files into the installer folder.
Can you try doing that and uploading the files inside the newly created installer folder to your website, then try visiting it to start the installation?
If there are still files that exceed the file size limit, then I’m afraid you may be out of luck. You might wish to contact the developer; since they were willing to try and install the software for you, explain to them that the file size limit cannot be overriden, and ask if the software can still be installed (and how to do so).
It seems to be a script, so as long as they’ve paid for it, it shouldn’t be an issue.
I’d guess they have a license because the author wouldn’t offer support for pirated versions:
It is good for only single user licence, not sharing with thousands of people.
This is where I would draw the line. For personal use where you own it, ok
Sharing with other, uh uh… no way
