could anyone tell me with I am doing wrong?

Setting silly size limits like you have will undeniably cause problems. Please read the docs with this regard. Again, in the docs it suggests how you should upload large files such as movies.

Also, please read the section on upload troubleshooting and the Board Rules

thanks, but I do not see anywhere in the docs that it talks about this error

Exceeded filesize permitted by CPG

i guess i could have over looked it.. could someone please point it out to me.

 I set it high to be able to upload large files and hoping to solve this problem. I have other scripts and I can upload large files to them.

99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,989,532,151,024 KB is far more than the cumulated amount of hard disk capacity on this entire planet. That's just a silly setting. As suggested, you should set that to something that makes sense.
You have been told about board rules and about the upload troubleshooting section of the docs, but obviously you failed to read those sections. There will be no more help for you untill you read those sections and do as suggested there.

Are you trying to play stupid on purpose?

Asking for support on upload issues

When asking for support on the coppermine forum, post a link to your site and a test user account (the test user mustn't be in the admin group!) with upload privileges, with the above mentioned settings in place - this way, supporters can see the error messages as well. Do not post debug_output unless requested. If you want fast results, you should disable admin approval for the group the test user is in, so supporters can tell instantly what is wrong without needing to double-check.

When people have issues with uploading and decide to post their question on the Coppermine support board, they usually are told to read this upload troubleshooting section. Many of them fail to do so properly, which results in frustration both for users as well as supporters. To make this absolutely clear: the above mentioned steps are absolutely mandatory, no matter what skill level you have, no matter what upload method you have troubles with. Failing to do exactly as suggested will result in your request for help being ignored. Yes, this applies to you. We mean it!

I quoted the instructions for you and highlighted the answer to your question. Does that mean "yes"? Make a guess.

thanks as stated, in the message new users "do not read all".... yep that inclued me . I was searching the page for my error message and did not see the error message. I will create the account and post back here. but 1st I will uninstall and reinstall to see if that helps.
thanks for the answers.

[phill104]

First you should at least post a link and the account as suggested. Once you have done that we can offer further advice.

Re-installing will just be wasting your time.

[winracer]

I reinstalled and it is working now?

all I changed was this

Max size for uploaded files (KB)  11024

to test it out.

I guess it could have been a bad install, I used my web hosting companys Fantastico to install.

Not a bright idea at all. Additionally, that goes unsupported.
