Hello, 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(); ?> You can also use the following command in order to find the location of the php.ini file: php -i | grep php.ini The output will be: Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/7.2/cli Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini 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 = 200M You also need to restart your web server in order the changes to take effect. Hope that this helps!Regards,Alex

Edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, set upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to 150M and restart Apache: sudo service apache2 restart You should then be able to upload your SQL dump using phpMyAdmin. Once you’ve done that, it’s safer to lower the size limit back to a reasonable value like 8M or so. Don’t forget to restart Apache after editing php.ini.

After Several hours trying to figure out why changes to php.ini doesn’t work on max upload size, i decided to take other path…so here goes the… Ways of making work changes to upload_max_filesize, or php.ini max upload size doesn’t work: FIRST remember to also increase post_max_size just in case is that the limit as that one overrides upload_max_filesize… Here goes the ways to make work upload_max_filesize without touching PHP.ini!!! APACHEAdd next content to .htaccess file at your app or site directory: php_value upload_max_filesize 40Mphp_value post_max_size 40M or NGINXAdd this to the conf file of the site or application (usually at /etc/nginx/sites-available) location ~ .php$ {fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE “upload_max_filesize = 50M post_max_size=51M”;} or CREATE A FILE user.ini (where user is the user that have access to that folder, usually files are owned by this user) put this file on the directory where the php is located, user.ini must have next content: upload_max_filesize = 40M post_max_size = 40M or PHP CODEInside the php that must upload the file or files at the top inside php brackets of course, put: ini_set(‘post_max_size’, ‘64M’);ini_set(‘upload_max_filesize’, ‘64M’); One of this solutions must work, in my case was the Apache one, and worked perfect, try yours!!!
