Login to SSH
- open file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
- find upload_max_filesize = 2M (default is set to 2MB)
- Change 2M to 16M
- Save (press control O to write out)
- exit (press control x to exit)
- restart Apache by using command (sudo service apache2 restart) Done!
Try uploading again :)
If you restart apache after making the change: sudo service apache2 restart
It takes affect right away!
https://drupal.org/node/97193 explains how to increase the max upload file size, php.ini should be somewhere around /etc/php5
