...sigh....

this is such a simple thing... it frustrates me it doesn't work...

just trying to change the upload_max_filesize on a particular site.

I do phpinfo() on that site and get a 2M upload_max_filesize for Global and Local values.

I have a php.ini file in that same directory... upload_max_filesize = 10000000 and also tried it without the =.

Doesn't change any values. I even restarted apache.

So, I'm changing it in the master php.ini file... but I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Cpanel/Apache/PHP4 machine

Are you editting the correct php.ini? (you can check this by looking at phpinfo(); there you will see the path of where teh php.ini has to be.

How about post_max_size ?

Check out this from the php.net site:


http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.post-max-size

post_max_size integer
Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize.

If memory limit is enabled by configure script, memory_limit also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.



Good luck

This is the Global php.ini listed - correct? In the end I had to modify this to get it to work. I want it to only be changed on one site however...

My understanding was that PHP reads in a local version as well in directory of the script....

check out if you are editing correct script. Usually, people make mistakes by installing php in a different directory (not in default) and copying php.ini file to default location!

Check out phpinfo(); page for more info and paths, as user above already suggested!

If you would like to set it only for one virtualhost. You have to set it within the virtualhost section of the apache configuration file.

Do that by adding:

php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 10M
