Change upload limits and other PHP settings

Choose the domain first, then adjust only the setting your application requires.

Where Tools → Software → MultiPHP INI Editor → Basic Mode

Before you start

  • Record the current values and confirm your hosting resource limits.
  • Use the application’s requirements rather than arbitrarily setting everything to an unlimited value.

Steps

  1. 1

    Select the intended domain in the location dropdown. Home Directory has a different scope. Check the displayed path, PHP version and domain before editing.

  2. 2

    For upload limits, review upload_max_filesize and post_max_size together. The total POST limit needs room for the upload and other submitted data. A larger PHP limit does not override application or server limits.

  3. 3

    Use Editor Mode only when you understand the directive syntax. Test the affected function and restore recorded values if the change causes a problem.

  4. 4

    Open MultiPHP INI Editor and choose Basic Mode.

    Select a location before its editable settings are shown.
  5. 5

    For memory_limit, max_execution_time or max_input_vars, enter the required value in the matching row. Time values are in seconds; sizes such as 128M use PHP size notation.

    The domain-specific rows include error logging, execution time and memory settings.
  6. 6

    Keep display_errors disabled on a public site; use log_errors and a protected error_log path for diagnosis. Scroll down to Apply and save only after reviewing the changed rows.

    Scroll down for post_max_size, upload_max_filesize and the Apply button.

Check it worked

  • Check the effective limit in your application, then try a safe test upload or the previously failing action.
  • If the value does not change, check the selected domain and which PHP configuration actually controls it.
