Setting PHP Upload Max Size

Setting PHP Upload Max Size

If you encounter an error like:
"trace.zip exceeds the maximum upload size for this site"
or
"the uploaded file exceeds your upload_max_filesize directive",
you may need to increase the PHP upload max size.

This setting can be applied at three levels:

• Website-specific
• Server level (applies to websites under that server’s application role)
• Global level (default for all application roles and websites)

Steps to Increase PHP Upload Max Size for a Single Website

1. Navigate to Website Dashboard

   • Locate the website in the control panel.
   • Open the Advanced dropdown menu.

2. Access the PHP.ini Editor

   • Click Developer Tools.
   • Scroll to the php.ini editor section.

3. Add or Update the Directive

   • Enter the directive:
     upload_max_filesize
   • In the Text field, input the desired maximum value (e.g., 200M for 200 megabytes).

4. Set Post Max Size

   • Similarly, update post_max_size to the same value as upload_max_filesize.

5. Save Changes

   • Click Create to apply the new settings.

Tip

• Values must be specified in megabytes (M).
  • Example: For 200 MB, use 200M.
• Ensure post_max_size is set equal to or greater than upload_max_filesize to avoid upload issues.
