Upload Limits

[jcmental]

Hello again Time for my daily post.

Can you please tell me how to find out what the upload limits are on my VSP server.
I'm running a website that members upload a few pictures at a time but there having truble, some upload and the others dont so they have to post twice. I've been into the admin panel on the site image settings (e107) and it says default is 2mb is there any way I can set it to 16mb as per my old server?

Thanks in advance JC

Hello,

Yes, you can increase the PHP upload size from PHP Configuration file i.e. php.ini. First you will have to locate the php.ini file, you can use following command to find the location of php.ini file

#php -i | grep php.ini

This command will show the exact location of PHP.ini file. Then edit this file using "vi" OR "pico" editor and search for the term "upload_max_filesize" and change it following

FROM:
upload_max_filesize = 2M

TO:
upload_max_filesize = 16M

Save the file and restart apache. If you face any problem just contact us via live chat OR email and we will increase the upload size right away.

Hello,

You can edit the php.ini from WHM.

WHM >> Main >> Service Configuration >> PHP Configuration Editor

search for the term "upload_max_filesize" and change it following

FROM:
upload_max_filesize = 2M

TO:
upload_max_filesize = 16M

Click on Save the file and restart apache.

If you face any problem just contact us via live chat OR email and we will increase the upload size right away.

Thanks for that
I followed your instructions and you were almost spot on.
The edit upload size was at the top of the list it opened in basic configuration. So I changed it from 2 to 16 and clicked submit it speeled out a loads of text and said it was updated.
Then I restarted apache (My first time)
and BingO it's working.

Thanks once again guys your awesome!
