If you restart apache after making the change: sudo service apache2 restart
It takes affect right away!
Right, you need to edit the file <code>/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini</code> and increase the setting for <code>upload_max_filesize</code> By default, it is only 2MB <br> <br>See: http://php.net/upload-max-filesize <br>
Find all php.ini files: root@server:~# find / -name php.ini /usr/local/vesta/php/lib/php.ini /usr/local/vesta/src/rpm/conf/php.ini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/cli/php.ini /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini
Edit the files: root@server:~# nano /usr/local/vesta/php/lib/php.ini
Use crtl + w for search for upload
Change this line: upload_max_filesize = 2M To: upload_max_filesize = 10M
Repeat for all files:
root@server:~# nano /usr/local/vesta/src/rpm/conf/php.ini root@server:~# nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (this is probably the one you should change) root@server:~# nano /etc/php5/cli/php.ini root@server:~# nano /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini
Restart apache: root@server:~# sudo service apache2 restart
