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 maxfileupload size in

.user.ini
wp-config
/etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
adding this to .htaccess (doesn’t cause error 500):

suPHP_ConfigPath ../../../etc/php/7.4/fpm/

I used to be able to change .htaccess before setting up http/2 in case that helps now my php handler is FCGI. My support post on DO didn’t fix the problem–they only suggested changing php.ini as I already did here:

; 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

Thanks in advance!
