Hi @KDSys ,

How do I access my PHP.ini? And how do I access these? uploadmaxfilesize = 64M postmaxsize = 64M maxexecutiontime = 900

Thank you so much for your help, this is my first time hosting with Digital Ocean. Your help and guidance means a lot!

Thanks, again!

Best, A

This helped a lot, I was facing the same problem

Hi @ASPENEXTREME,

Can you provide us with some steps to recreate the issue on our end? This error is usually experienced when uploading big images,videos or themes on wordpress not when installing it.

Usually this is fixed with increasing the maximum upload size and execution times for your website however here seems too strange.

So please let us know the steps you are taking so that we can provide with a more accurate solution.

Regards, KDSys
