Changing PHP Values and upload_max_filesize through cPanel

Updated over a year ago

When running an application, script, plugin, or even uploading a file via PHP, you may face an error because of exceeded limitations set by your web server.

To solve this, you can increase the default upload_max_filesize limit via cPanel 👇

Navigate to cPanelSoftware Select PHP Version:

The Select PHP Version option on the Software section on cPanel

Then, select Options, locate the upload_max_filesize, and set the maximum value available in your plan.

And that’s it! Increasing the upload_max_filesize value should automatically fix the error.

If the errors persist, increase other PHP limits by adding a few lines of code to your .htaccess file as described here: How to Increase Upload Max Filesize and PHP Values via .htaccess 💡

NOTES
