It could be a few things. <br> <br>Did you change: <br> <br>max_post_size to 64mb <br> <br>check your permissions to be sure that www-data or whatever apache/nginx runs under owns the files in the directory <br> <br>make sure that wp-content/uploads is writeable

I am completed php.ini to 64 mb. Coming from a shared enivorment so some of this is new to me. Please explain or link to ways to resolve your other suggestions. <br> <br>thanks

Did you restart Apache after modifying php.ini?
