Maximum Upload File Size
Is there an easy way to increase the maximum file upload size (currently 2 megabytes)?
The file upload size is set in your PHP configuration, php.ini, with the parameter upload_max_filesize.
The setting can be changed in a number of different places depending on your webserver and the method it uses to run PHP.
If your Webserver allows the modification of PHP settings through a
.htaccess file (Apache + mod_php) add the following two lines to a .htaccess in the installed directory:php_value upload_max_filesize 15M php_value post_max_size 15M
Otherwise you need to modify your
php.ini (usually located in /etc/php5/php.ini, but refer to your administrator or distribution manual for the correct location):upload_max_filesize = 15M post_max_size = 15M
After modifying the global
php.ini you will need to restart the webserver to have changes take effect.Apache Users
Set the following parameter to a reasonable value in your php.ini if you get "Upload Failed" errors after setting
upload_max_filesize and post_max_size :
memory_limit = 256M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (default: 16MB)
Suhosin Users
Users with Suhosin might need to increase the
suhosin.post.max_value_length value as well.Red Hat E5 Servers
Red Hat ES users will also want to check (and probably increase)
LimitRequestBody in/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, which is set by default to a fairly low value. This directive specifies the number of bytes from 0 (meaning unlimited) to 2147483647 (2GB) that are allowed in a request body.FCGI Users
An updated default FastCGI restriction, which limited the maximum body size of a HTTP request results in internal server errors. You may set new values in your apache, i.e.
FcgidMaxRequestLen 26214400 FcgidConnectTimeout 60
for 25 MB and 60 sec timeout.
