Facing problems while uploading files on cPanel server? Learn how to adjust the PHP settings to allow larger uploads.
If you are running into problems uploading files on your cPanel server, you can easily adjust the PHP settings to allow larger uploads.
To do that go to WHM -> Service Configuration -> PHP Configuration Editor
Click on the 'Advanced Mode' button
Scroll down until you find the options
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
Set both of those values to the largest file size you want someone to be able to upload. So for example to make it 20 Mb you would write: 20M
Click 'Save' at the bottom
You will also need to restart Apache after changing the configuration.
Go to WHM -> Restart Services -> HTTP Server (Apache)
Click 'Yes' to restart.
