Question

Help me! I have to modify "php.ini" for my wordpress website!!

Hello!

In fact, I didn’t know about the Linux as well. But I just know that VPS HOSTING is better than web-sharing hosting.

So i chose yours for my web site in wordpress and I bought one wordpress theme that is about 10M. and i tried to apply the theme… but I see the message below from wordpress

“The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.”

I read many – possibly dozens – of posts on wordpress.org and other sites about this problem. They suggest me that i have to increase my WP upload file size to 32MB with correting php.ini file. Someone change it as the following text :

    max_execution_time = 90
    max_input_time = 300
    memory_limit = 64M
    post_max_size = 32M
    upload_max_filesize = 32M

My question is so simple!

How can I modify the “php.ini” Can this modification resolve my uploading problem?

I can’t even see the where is server and files for my website. Please help me, considering that I don’t about Linux well!

vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini or if you’re using nginx (which I doubt) vim /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

hit / to search, enter upload_max_filesize and Enter. Get the pointer to the corresponding value that’s set there and hit i. Delete/Backspace away the value and change it to what you want it to be. Then hit Escape. Begin with search until you’ve properly edited the file.

Then hit :wq! which saves the file.

You may wanna service apache2 restart (or nginx depending on which webserver you run).
