PHP max upload file size

Overview

This guide demonstrates how to increase (or decrease) the PHP max upload file size. We’ll need to both configure PHP and then the web server if you’re running nginx.

PHP Configuration

In php.ini, find the rows containing upload_max_filesize and post_max_size and change their values to the desired amount.

By default they will look something like this, depending on what type of node you’re running their values might differ:

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M          ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.

Continue with the web server configuration below.

Nginx Configuration

If you are running nginx you will need to edit (or add if it’s missing) the following row with the desired value in the http {} block in nginx.conf.

client_max_body_size 32m;

Restart the node for the changes to take effect.
