How to change the maximum upload file size in LiteSpeed/WordPress
I have found many solutions for this, but I’m looking for the simplest, least-intrusive way to change the maximum upload file size for WordPress. Specifically, for a droplet created with the LiteSpeed/WordPress image from DO’s marketplace.
I attempted to add the line php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
to the bottom of the .htaccess
file using LiteSpeed’s built-in “Edit .htaccess” menu command. It did nothing.
Also, I had to do a sudo reboot
from ssh because I cannot figure out how to reboot just the web server, either.
sudo service nginx restart
doesn’t work.sudo service httpd restart
doesn’t work.sudo service apache restart
doesn’t work.sudo service apache2 restart
doesn’t work.
They all give me Unit <servicename>.service not found.
Finding and editing the correct php.ini
file, then force-rebooting the entire droplet seems a bit harsh to me, as though there should be a more elegant way.
Is there?
