File Uploading: Max file size limit

Is it possible to raise the max file size upload limit for my Wordpress installation? What's the best to achieve this? ini_set? .htaccess? My own php.ini?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hiya,

You should set up your own Custom PHP.ini

Thank you very much for your assistance. Creating my own php.ini did the trick and now I have everything configured as I wanted :)

you can use a .htaccess file on your folder:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
php_value post_max_size 150M
php_value upload_max_filesize 150M
php_value memory_limit 250M

No you can't. The only ways to do this are with a custom install, or a custom php.ini.

Well, that *seems* to "work", but you probably won't like the results!

1) That handler invokes the mod_php installation that *may* be available on your particular server (and may *NOT* be available on *all* servers)

2) It uses mod_php 4.4.8, which can be a problem if you are expecting to be running PHP5 (and some applications *require* PHP5 )

3) mod-php runs as the dhapache user, not *your* user as is normal when running PHP-CGI under suexec, and this can cause major permissions issues with web applications that were installed using permissions appropriate for running under suexec . You will have to open up your permissions for the application to write to your directories - generally *not* a good thing to do.

4) DreamHost may, at any time, remove the ability to run mod_php. It has been "undocumented" and not advertised as a "feature" for a long time now.

In short, this is *not* a good way to attempt to modify your PHP settings for production environments.

Don't mean to steal this topic, but I have a doubt I have never been able to understand.

I understand the default installation of PHP5 runs as CGI.
If, instead of installing my own version of PHP, I configure one of my domains to use its own php.ini (so I can tune up some settings) does it still run as CGI or it goes back to running as a PHP module?

cheers!

IF you use the instructions contained in the wiki articles on "php.ini" and "custom phpl.ini", you will still end up running PHP-CGI.

However, if you use the handler information that was shared earlier in this thread, you will end up running mod_php.

Much appreciated rlparker, that's exactly what I needed to know

Good deal ... I'm glad my response was helpful!
