Increase upload file limit
I have recently installed Joomla 1.5 and notice in Media Manager that the file upload limit is 10MB. I would like to increase it to 32 MB. When I used Joomla 1.0, I added some code to the php.ini file, but no such file exists (or I can't find it) with my new version of Joomla. What can I do to increase the file upload limit?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Increase upload file limit
Hi,
In the back end click on Help->System Info and then click on the PHP Information link.
There you'll find where is your php.ini and the maximum allowed upload size (upload_max_filesize). To change it simply edit the php.ini file and change the value of the parameter upload_max_filesize to your needs.
If your site is on a hosting, maybe you cannot change that.
Best regards,

Re: Increase upload file limit
That's a help, but I'm still stuck. I'm worried that my hosting service (Siteground) limits me. I had another website with GoDaddy and didn't have this problem.
I think I'm looking where you told me to go -- under PHP information. Next to "Loaded configuration file" is the path /usr/local/php52/lib/php.ini , but I can't find that directory when searching through the root directories of the site.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again.

Re: Increase upload file limit
Hi,
unfortunately you can't solve this. Your provider has an upload limit setted and you cannot change it by your side. Try to talk with them, but, for my experience, don't expect they give a solution. Normally those rules are fire marked.

Well if you are using Siteground all I can say is GOOD LUCK! Especially if you ever need to rely on their web site backups. I now use Rylee James hosting and for very good reasons all of which resulted in having to completely rebuild my company web site because of problems I had with Siteground hosting.

Re: Increase upload file limit
Well, I learned the hard way.
Siteground had many limitations that I found frustrating, including severe limits on the number of hourly and daily script executions permitted on the account, limits on backing up files, as well as lousy customer service. I recently left SiteGround and now happily use Hostgator, which has provided great, prompt service, fast servers, reasonable prices, and as relates to this thread, a php.ini file that I can adjust.

Re: Increase upload file limit
I have been with Siteground for years and have moved all my customers to them and since the move, we had nothing but good service and support!
Regarding your php.ini upload limit, the solution is very simple! just open your php.ini file (located in the root of your site) and add the following line (if it does not exist):
You can change the size to meet your needs.
If you are not confortable touching the php.ini file, you can make the changes through your cPanel (Siteground) as follow:
- Login to your site's cPanel, and under '1H SOFTWARE', click on the 'PHP Variables Manager' icon
- Once there, you will see something like this:
domain/ public_html php.ini
- click on the public_html
- Then in the 'upload_max_filesize' box, add the desired size
Important: Make sure that the 'Apply changes to all sub-directories?' option is Check
- Then click on 'Save'
and you are good to go
As of today, Siteground has set the upload_max_filesize to 100M, which is more than enough.
I hope this helps

Re: Increase upload file limit
create a new file in www folder: .user.ini and paste this:
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size=105M
max_execution_time=120
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size=105M
max_execution_time=120

Re: Increase upload file limit
this does not work.
Does anyone know how to increase the upload_max_filesize on a hosted server?

Re: Increase upload file limit
On a dedicated server you would increase it using your control panels php.ini configuration if on a shared host you would want to contact your host as have them do it

Re: Increase upload file limit
As its a dedicated server then yo can edit the php.ini directly. Don't forget to restart apache after making the changes or they won't have any effect

Re: Increase upload file limit
In your previous topic you asked about PHP 7 in AIX 5.3 which had its EOL six years ago. Others would be able to assist you better with your server configuration if you could post the output from the Forum Post Assistant (FPA) by following the instructions at viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860

Re: Increase upload file limit
Configuration File (php.ini) Path not set correctly.
The testing.php file showed no path was set for Configuration File (php.ini) Path.
And the path that was set was pointing to a empty or directory that did exist.
How can the Configuration File (php.ini) path be set to the standard correct directory?

Re: Increase upload file limit
This is basic server management and not joomla management. If you don't know what you are doing with a server then you shouldnt use it. It's a big responsibility!

Re: Increase upload file limit
You are correct.
The 4 other server that I built work correctly.
The server was and is working fine.
The install of PHP7 seem to have been the problem.
And you did't know the answer did you?
Troubleshooting for the problem was sample.
But, your input has been noted!!!
