Larger upload file size for Wordpress 3 on B3

Post by force317 »

What is the best procedure to follow to enlarge the upload file size for Wordpress 3 on the B3 ?

Is there an upload file size limit it is better not to exceed on the B3 ?

the upload for wordpress is restricted by the PHP config
in /etc/php5/apache2/php.conf find "upload_max_filesize", which generally is at 2MB. You can easily move this to 20MB or more for systems with only a few users, such as your B3.

It's kinda odd that this upload limit is set at 2MB for bubba while the memory_limit is set at an enormous 128MB.

It was a php.ini apparently in that folder, i changed the settings from 2MB to 20MB, but in Wordpress he now mentions an uploadfilesize limit of 8MB instead of the previous 2MB.

Changes I made in the mentioned php.ini file :

upload_max_filesize = 64M : the standard setting was 2M

But I needed to make a second change in the php.ini file :
post_max_size 64M : the standard setting was 8M

Then you restart the B3 server and the upload file size limit is now 64M
