I am trying to upload the new version of our app. I set it up on my local host machine and packed it there and now im trying to upload it onto python anywhere web2py however when I try it simply crashes and says cant load page its 149 mb im on the free version so im wondering if its too big to upload? I was able to upload the previous pack file from the same local host machine on web2py however it was only 86Mb Please help :)

That should upload OK -- we do have limits on how much you can upload at once, but they're higher than that. Are you trying to upload it using our "File" tab, or inside the web2py admin?

I am trying to use it inside the web2py admin, whats weird is that it works fine for the a pack file that contains less stuff. I haven't explored a lot with the files tab but it doesn't look like I able to upload multiple things at once or else I would simply do that I have also tried using different web browsers and different computers

Hmmm. the web2py admin may have different upload limits to our own... Although, I think that's unlikely.

Next question -- how come the file is so large? 150MB is massive for a web application, is it full of images perhaps? Is there any way you can upload the images and the source code separately?

The app does contain a lot of images, the app actually contains five different games, ill try and delete one and see if the reduced size fixes my problem

Fixed :) I ended up just having to create a smaller pack file by deleting some things, and then adding them back in by hand.

Excellent, thanks for letting us know!
