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 restartdoesn’t work.sudo service httpd restartdoesn’t work.sudo service apache restartdoesn’t work.sudo service apache2 restartdoesn’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?

For anyone maybe interested. The fix method is to increase the
post_max_sizevalue, not the upload_max_file and then doservice lsws restartorkillall lsphpnew. ^ ^How To Change The Maximum Upload Limit And Maximum Post Limit In Open Litespeed WordPress PHP7.4
for example, I am using php7.4
Update post_max_size and upload_max_filesize value from /usr/local/lsws/lsphp73/etc/php/7.4/litespeed/php.ini
or you can make sure your PHP version first, check on info.php then find (CTRL + F)
upload_max_filesize = xxxxM Can Edit You as want post_max_size = xxxxxM Can Edit You as want
Then Save it (CTRL + S)
Finally, you must restart with this command
because if you just type : “killall lsphpnew” or “service lsws restart” the command is not working…
