  Cant access phpini

  I use an internet service provider Netfirms.com. All in all a solid company.
  
  but.... when I tried to install ATutor I needed to make changes to php.ini because it wouldn't pass the install requirements:
  file_uploads must be enabled (Required) Detected: Disabled
  
  also upload_max_filesize and post_max_size were 1/4 as large as they should be.
  
  my service provider won't allow changes to php.ini either by me or by them.
  
  Any Ideas? They have adminmyphp but it is very limited and you don't have permission to access the adminmyphp directory.
  
  Can anyone recommend a commercial site provider that will allow me to run ATutor?

  here is a list of providers

  http://www.atutor.ca/services/index.php
  
  toward bottom of page and also has consulting charges from ATutor team. I think very reasonable considering my pain. ;)
  
  I'm thinking that if you can't get cooperation for changing the php.ini your're just dead in the water.
  
  Any other thoughts on that last part let me know :)

  Try a .htaccess file

  In some cases you can include a .htaccess file that includes the settings that are not available in your ISP default php.ini settings.
  
  Not sure if you can do this with upload_max_filesize or post_max_size. It's worth a try.
  
  
  Search to atutor.ca site for php_flag for more info, or visit the php documentation
