Hi, all

You can create a php info file in order to check the current values and check which is the php.ini file in use. Create the following file in your public_hmtl folder - phpinfo.php and put the following code inside it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then check for the current value of upload_max_filesize you can also check which is the configuration file - php.ini that is currently used and apply the changes there (if the site using the global php.ini file and you change the values for these settings this will make the changes globally for all sites). Ideally you would like to have the following values:

upload_max_filesize = 64M

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex

Sorry for the previous short answer as I thought I was signing in. I am fairly efficient with the command line, Apache, PHP and so on. With that in mind I would say the easiest solution (and the one I go with as far as WordPress is concerned) is to install this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-htaccess-control/ . Once installed use the plugins tools to set your limit. To do this go to settings --> htaccess Control --> htaccess suggestions --> find the files size field and be sure to only input a numeric value. If this does not work you will need to ssh into into your server and go to sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini <br>and edit the max_upload_filesize set it to something like 20M and be sure to run sudo service apache2 restart.

@Multilabel: What webserver are you using? Have you tried restarting it after modifying the config files? If you’re using nginx, make sure you restart php5-fpm too and modify nginx’s upload limit: (#4 of <a href=“www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/nginx-and-php-fpm-configuration-and-optimizing-tips-and-tricks/”>www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/nginx-and-php-fpm-configuration-and-optimizing-tips-and-tricks/</a>).
