Linode Forum

I currently have a few virtual hosts running on a linode, each having their own wordpress installation. However depending which virtual host, I want to be able to limit my max uploading size. I've tried copying the php.ini from the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to each of the individual virtual host root directory, but its not working... any suggestions?

I'm a complete noob and learning... thanks!

Hi itsjohn,

You could try a few methods, the first would be to try using the php ini_set function from within the php files directly, the code would be something like (this equates to 1mb in bytes):

Code: ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '1048567');


Although the above ini_set function is generally not considered to be the best method.

You could also try a .htaccess file or the declaration within the <directory> settings in the vhost configuration within httpd.conf

Code: php_value upload_max_filesize "1048567"


I am no expert, but this may help you. Hopefully some php gurus can clear this up if I am way off track.

Hey, Thanks!

I tried this in the vhost configuration. I hope this is correct. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
Code:
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
       php_value post_max_size "32M"
       php_value upload_max_filesize "32M"
</IfModule>
