One more week left
During the time we've checked and configured a great number of different servers for our new clients. It helped us to see that the problem of incompatible PHP settings takes place very often. In this case we have a little suggestion for everybody who wants to start new community and tries to purchase a hosting account. It would be better for you and helps you to setup and running your community faster if you ask your future hosting provider to make the following preconfigurations on your account during its creation
- register_globals - Off
- safe_mode - Off
- disable_functions - empty
- open_basedir - empty
- memory_limit - 128M
- max_execution_time - 300
- post_max_size - 128M
- upload_max_filesize - 128M
- allow_url_fopen - On
P.S. Such little request will help you to understand what you can do on your hosting account and what you cannot. You'll get a first opinion about how much good support you'll be able to get from selected hosting provider. ;)
Good Luck!!!

why is your requested upload_max_filesize=128 (what determined this setting?) because personally i dont see where it makes any sense. two things about this, if you have a community of any substantial size, and they are uploading video/audio of the size 100m+ each, lets just do some math here on this.
Just assume 2000 members each uploads 1 file per say for one year. (not taking into consideration any other new sign ups or any additional modifications of your site, most specifically see more
Thank you for the question.
This limitions were taken from our experience. From time to time we had clients who want provide their members to upload files up to 100 MB
Yes, such community will require a lot of disk space, but I'm sure that even if you provide such capability to upload up to 128 MB video files, only 1 member from 100 or may be even from 1000 tries to upload such file.
If you upload some big video file it may require more then 300sec to process it with FFMPEG. see more
