    Default My users can't upload more than 2 MB

    Hello

    I need to modify the maximum size of uploaded files in my script installations which is limited to 2 MB as set by the limit in the server.

    I cannot find where I can do this in WHM or in cPanel. Could you please help me do this?

    20 MB should be enough.

    Default

    You can fix this by creating a php.ini file in the public_html folder, or the folder where the script is installed. Once you create the empty file, add the following string:

    Code:
    upload_max_filesize = 20M
    post_max_size = 20M
    If you do not add both values to php.ini, it is likely to fail for one reason or another.

    Or, if you want to set this as the server's global default, edit:
    /usr/local/lib/php.ini

    and set the values there for all accounts. Then if your server defaults are still not enough, your users can edit the local php.ini files accordingly.

    If these post and upload values get too large, you may run out of memory as well.

    The directive for this is called:
    memory_limit

    And if your users have exceedingly slow Internet connections, they might also encounter a timeout trying to upload.

    The directive for that is called:
    max_execution_time

    Be careful when allowing users to set these values and be even more careful when setting these as global defaults as setting things too high can result in unstable servers.
