phpthumb error on uploading image

Hello

it is good to update Joomla

about upgrading FLEXIcontent see here, (about increasing upload limit):
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...ver-limitations.html

I added a .htaccess file with this line only (just to try):
php_value upload_max_filesize 15M

...and got a 500 Internal Server Error.
Is there a specific syntax to add a php_value to .htaccess?
I can't find it anywhere.

Hello

some server do not allow to change this via .htaccess

in such a case you need to use file:
php.ini
in some servers, you may have to create 1 more php.ini file :
joomlaFolder/administrator/php.ini

but usually editting this should be enough to apply to all subfolders:
joomlaFolder/php.ini

Hello,

Thanks for you answer.

What do you mean with joomlaFolder?
Is it mySite/libraries/joomla? (See screenshot.)

If so, there is no administrator folder inside.

Do I have to add a php.ini in mySite/libraries/joomla?

Good night.

Hello

i meant the TOP level (Root) joomla folder

in case it helps someone: i had a similar problem (only when hosted at strato.de), solved mine like this:
1) open /components/com_flexicontent/librairies/phpthumb/phpThumb.config_OVERRIDE.php
2) temporarily set $ PHPTHUMB_CONFIG [ ' disable_debug ' ] = false to see the debug result by removing line comment.
3) find ~'document_root', copy it's value.
3 a) in my case, the joomla-subfolder was missing here
4) set $ PHPTHUMB_CONFIG [ ' disable_debug ' ] back to true by re-adding line comment "//".
5) near "$ PHPTHUMB_CONFIG [ ' document_root ' ] = " set the correct path: in my case: the previously copied website-path ."/".<joomla_root_folder>
6) voilá: thumbnail got generated without error.

ps: remove the spaces in the $ PHPTHUMB_CONFIG - vars. I had to put them in in order to prevent this forum-editor to alter my text.
