As I try to install AdsManager extension through Upload Package File option, getting the Error:

There was an error uploading this file to the server. Maximum PHP file upload size is too small: This is set in php.ini in both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size settings of your PHP settings (located in php.ini and/or .htaccess file).

Do I need to edit php.ini settings as instructed above or is there a quicker, better way to download this extension?

You can try with one of this options:

  • If you have access to your php.ini, change the values and restart your webserver:

upload_max_filesize=64M
post_max_size=64M

Also you can increase this value
max_execution_time=300

  • If you don't have access to this file, you can add this values in your .htaccess file

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300

  • Adding the above 3-line code into htaccess.txt file (I did it through C Panel File Manager, GoDaddy (splendidjoomla.blogspot.in/2016/04/…)? Not successful as trying to install shows the same error message. – Splendid Digital Solutions Apr 8 '16 at 10:15
  • You should rename your file htaccess.txt to .htaccess – AlejandroVega Apr 9 '16 at 5:40
  • So, the same is possible through ftp and not c-panel? – Splendid Digital Solutions Apr 9 '16 at 12:42
  • Yes, download the htaccess.txt via FTP, add the code, save, rename the file to .htaccess and upload the file again via FTP, replace the old file with the new file. – AlejandroVega Apr 9 '16 at 17:22
  • While working with htaccess.txt and .htaccess somewhere messed and now the site is showing 500 Internal Server Error. Is there any standard htaccess.txt and .htaccess script which I can fresh upload to restore the website? – Splendid Digital Solutions Apr 11 '16 at 14:38

Install from Folder Installation Method

If unable to update the PHP limitations via php.ini or .htaccess, an alternative install method is to expand the extension installation file into a folder on your local machine e.g. /adsmanager and then upload this folder via FTP to the /tmp or similar folder in your Joomla install.

Go to Extensions -> Manage -> Install in the back-end, click on the "Install from Folder" tab, enter the location of your install folder and click on "Install" as in the following example:

Install from Folder
