Disk quota exceeded

Hi,
Im getting the error

"

Disk quota exceeded

You have a space quota of 2500000K, your pictures currently use 0K, adding this picture would make you exceed your quota.

"

well, its funny as I have no images insatlled and the image im trying to upload is oly about 25kb.
Note: Im trying to upload via a normal (test) account. Not an admin account.

what can th problem be?

Does your webhost actually give you more than 2.5GB storage?

[volkan]

oops, suppoest to be 25meg!
got numbers work (its a private server).
But it should still work right?
(btw, what is 25mb in K??)

[Tranz]

1000 K = ~ 1MB

I think there are issues with people using ridiculously large quota.

No answer yet???

I have my config file set to allow 5120 KB for disk quota.  Now, I understand this to be per picture.  However, one of my site members is having problems uploading because he is getting the "disk quota exceeded" message.  I have mine and everyone else set for 5120 KB.  I am currently using 190,000 KB of space for my pics and I have NO problems uploading.  What is the problem with his???

The quota refers to that set in the groups page. That is the size limit for all pictures collectively.

[dwjantz]

That makes no sense to me, since as I said above, my quota is the same and I have over 190,000 KB of pics up, so it says in the User page.  But I see I do have Public Upload approval set as Yes. Would that make a difference?  Can I change these quotas?  But even if I do it doesn't explain why I can have so much but the users can't.  He only has 16 pictures up.

The quota doesn't apply to the admin while in admin mode.

[dwjantz]

Ahhhhhh! That is the answer!

I changed his quota now he has no problem.  What have you found to be a good disk quota average for users?
