Hey,

You can increase the value of the parameter in php.ini of the server or in custom php.ini of the domain.

Hey!

>> Take a backup of the file php.ini ; The command php --ini will return the location of the php.ini
>> Open the php.ini using the editor vi and search for the parameter and increase the value.
>> Restart apache.

If you wants to increase the parameter only for one domain you can increase it in .htaccess/custom php.ini according to the handler used.

Does the user have their own php.ini file on the account? If so, then open up the php.ini file, look for upload_max_filesize and then increase it. This would be if you are using suPHP, which you can tell in WHM > Apache Configuration > PHP and SuExec Configuration area.

If you want to change the global setting for the server itself, you can edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini file and edit the size for upload_max_filesize there to have a larger value.
