Question

Modifying .htaccess causes server error 500

Posted June 17, 2020 882 views

I have a one click Wordpress installation and followed the solution here and I’m still getting server error 500 when I modify php_value upload_max_filesize 128M in .htaccess (this used to be the only way that worked)

I followed the change in virtualhosts suggested on DO here

I tried all the changes but the last filter approach here too changing max_file_upload size in

wp-config

in php.ini adding this to .htaccess (doesn’t cause error 500)

<IfModule mod_suphp.c> 
suPHP_ConfigPath ../../../etc/php/7.4/fpm/
</IfModule>

.user.ini

I used to be able to change .htaccess before setting up http/2 in case that helps
Thanks in advance!

Hi @frankieguz,

THe option php_value upload_max_filesize 128M in your .htaccess is breaking your website as that option is used only when you have the PHP handler DO set. This handled it pretty much outdated and no one is using it anymore.

To find out which PHP handler you are using, I’ll recommend creating a PHP info file that will display it there.You’ll need to create the file in your website’s directory so that you can open it later. In the file add the following content

<?php phpinfo();

Save and close the file. You can now open the file in your browser. There it will say loaded configuration and the PHP handler. Most probably it’s FCGI.

Regards,
KDSys

    Great I see it is FCGI now–is there documentation for how to change the upload size somewhere on DO forums?

    and just to be sure here’s from the page I checked:
    Virtual Directory Support disabled
    Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php/7.4/fpm
    Loaded Configuration File /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
    Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php/7.4/fpm/conf.d

    …

    cgi-fcgi
    php-fpm active
    Directive Local Value Master Value
    cgi.discardpath 0 0
    cgi.fix    pathinfo 1 1
    cgi.forceredirect 1 1
    cgi.nph 0 0
    cgi.redirect    statusenv no value no value
    cgi.rfc2616    headers 0 0
    fastcgi.error_header no value no value
    fastcgi.logging 1 1
    fpm.config no value no value

      You can change the upload size from here :

       /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini

      After you do, remember to restart apache for the effect to take place.

        Unfortunately, that’s one of the 4 things I changed already as mentioned in original post:

        ; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
; http://php.net/file-uploads
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
; http://php.net/upload-tmp-dir
;upload_tmp_dir =

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
memory_limit = 512M
