If you having problem to install virtuemart and show "There was an error uploading this file to the server"

Just solved this anoying error at my Joomla 1.7 Windows Installation with WAMP 2.2. Trying to install files bigger than 2mb was returning "Error: There was an error uploading this file to the server." In my case, nivo slider.


Solution
1 - Left Click at your Wamp icon at the windows task bar (wamp must be up and running), then select PHP and php.ini.

2 - CTRL + F (search for) "upload_max_filesize"

3 - Change the value from 2M to 12M (or whatever you want, but take easy, don’t go that far).

4 - Restart your WAMP and log in again at your site.

All running at my Windows 7 Desktop, not online. For online servers things are probably different. Anyway it took me 2 hours to solve. Hope it helps you.

Good Luck.
