HTTP error/issues with file size and uploading

  • hallo all.

    I am having difficulty with a wordpress site I’ve moved into maintaining.

    currently trying to set up a video upload page using gravity forms advanced uploader, but I get an http error whenever I try to upload a file larger than a meg or so.

    this error also happens uploading to the wordpress media library.

    I’ve set php.ini with rules to increase upload size

    upload_max_filesize = 256M
post_max_size = 256M
max-execution-time = 300
memory_limit = 512M

    but it doesn’t seem to affect the site, I’m still seeing that the max file upload size is 50mb, although it’s really around 900kb, otherwise I get an http error.

    could anyone help me with this?

    thanks!

  • hi
    if you are on shared hosting check configuration of your server with
    phpinfo.php

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    Bikram, thank you for your response!

    checking phpinfo, upload_max_filesize is set to 2M, post_max_size is set to 8M, despite the overrides I’ve set it php.ini.

    do you understand why this is happening?

    do you have any advice for getting past it?

    oh, I’ve just realised I have to restart php. not sure how I can do that without terminal access. I can log into the ftp, but no ssh or similar.

    i think you need to talk to your hosting provider about this.
