increase upload_max_filesize with php.ini

Question

I'm trying to increase the upload file size for my EE installation to 120MB. I have verified that I can modify these settings with my hosting service by adding a php.ini file to my webspace and placing the following code in it:

upload_max_filesize=120M

I have done this, and when I go to utilities and view the setting for that parameter, it shows that its been changed to 120M, but I am not able to upload a file that is 14.7MB. I get an error in EE stating that the file size has exceeded the limits in my php configuration. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try setting

post_max_size=120M

Answer 2

There are multiple PHP settings you should change to allow for larger file uploads:

• upload_max_filesize
• max_input_time
• memory_limit
• max_execution_time
• post_max_size
