Checked mime settings and “zip” is included. Tried uploading a 100kb zip file and I was successfully able to so no problem with upload folder. Seems to be related to mime settings or php.ini so we:

Changed php.ini settings:
memory_limit 4000M
post_max_size 40000M
upload_max_filesize 40000M

Changed .htaccess settings
php_value memory_limit 4000M
php_value post_max_size 40000M
php_value upload_max_filesize 40000M

Also changed the Apply XSS Filtering to uploaded files? to “No”

Still getting the error:

The uploaded file exceeds the maximum allowed size in your PHP configuration file.

Also on Channel Files, we are getting
No file was uploaded or file is not allowed by EE.(Ee EE Mime-type settings).

Not sure how to fix this one as all settings have been changed to accommodate desired outcome to upload larger files.

Anybody?

Well, a 3GB file is pretty heavy lifting for EE to do. There can be problems depending on what the server is running. Some server/software combos have a problem with any file over 2GB. Or your hosting service may only allow a certain amount of memory per account, like 500MB or 1GB.

So you need to verify with your hosting service that you have access to the amount of RAM you are putting in the various preferences. And you need to know that their platform can handle 2GB+ files. If you can verify both of those, then you can look elsewhere.

You may look to different methods that are designed to handle multi-GB file uploads, depending on what the purpose of your site is. If you just need to deliver some big files or videos, what have you, sometimes using ftp is a much more efficient way of doing this.

hope this helps,
