If you cannot upload a large file, image, or plugin because it exceeds the maximum size, you can raise the PHP upload limit in DirectAdmin. This guide explains which settings control it and how to change them.
De betreffende instellingen #
Two PHP settings work together to control uploads, and both need to be large enough:
- upload_max_filesize: het grootste afzonderlijke bestand dat je kunt uploaden.
- post_max_size: the total size of a form submission, which must be at least as large as the upload.
It is also worth checking max_execution_time so big uploads have time to finish.
De limiet wijzigen #
- Log in bij DirectAdmin.
- Open de Selecteer PHP versie of het instellingenmenu van PHP.
- Increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to your desired value.
- Opslaan.
If the settings are not shown in the panel, add them to a custom php.ini in your site folder.
De wijziging controleren #
Create a PHP info page, or in WordPress check Media > Nieuw toevoegen, which shows the current maximum upload size. Try your upload again once the new limit is active.
Problemen oplossen #
- Limiet ongewijzigd: confirm you edited the correct PHP version and cleared caching.
- Upload still fails: raise post_max_size and max_execution_time as well.
