Increasing max upload file size in cPanel phpMyAdmin

[mealto]

We are using phpmyadmin that was installed with Cpanel. How do we increase the size of the Max Upload Size in pypmhadmin? Tech support has modified the php.ini file but no increase yet. They think this is hard coded into phpmyadmin. Any thoughts?

As far as I know, php.ini affects the Apache implementation of PHP (port 80) not the implementation of PHP that phpMyAdmin runs on when in cPanel and WHM (port 2082-3). Keep in mind pages served on ports 208x are served by cpsrvd, not Apache.

The PHP implementation you would need to modify should be located in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php

No, is here
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini

Oops, thanks for the correction.

Sorry for the accidental edit there too... I undid what I did so "no harm no fowl"

 

[mealto]

Thanks, just forwarded the info the tech support. Let's see what happens.

 

[mealto]

Tech support has come back and let us know that they have updated the file from above to 200 MB but phpmyadmin still says (Max: 51,200KiB).

Any ideas?

Have you restarted cpanel services?

Have you restarted cpanel services?

I am inside WHM but cannot find a link to do this. I can see these under restart services:

DNS Server (BIND)
E-Commerce Server (Interchange)
FTP Server (ProFTPd/PureFTPd)
HTTP Server (Apache)
IMAP Server (uwimap)
Mail Server (Exim)
POP3 Server (cppop)
SQL Server (MySQL)
SSH Server (OpenSSH)

Would any of these be it?

Would any of these be it?

Via SSH execute service cpanel restart

 

[mealto]

Via SSH execute service cpanel restart

Just ran it and got confirmation that everything restarted with am OK status. phpmyadmin stil showing 50 MB limit. Any ideas?

Noticed that Melange Chat & InterChance "failed". Is this normal?

 

[flash7]

Also change that parameter:
post_max_size = 55M

then restart cpanel
service cpanel restart

yes

post_max_size = 55M

then restart cpanel
service cpanel restart




yes

I just ran this

nano /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini

and changed this line:

upload_max_filesize = 150M

Restarted Cpanel and Apache and phpmyadmin is still showing 51,200kIB in max upload file size?

What is going on?

Addn. Restarted A new browser sessions and max upload size in phpmyadmin is Max: 56,320KiB. Why the small increase?

 

[flash7]

Change

upload_max_filesize = 150M

AND

post_max_size = 150M

:D

 

[mealto]

I see, there are 2 lines. Here is what I have in the .ini file. Should:

post_max_size = 150M

be in this section too?

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
file_uploads = On
;upload_tmp_dir =
upload_max_filesize = 50M

Where is it?

 

[mealto]

Anyone know about this?

Solved

You should increase:
PHP Max Post Size for cPanel PHP in Megabytes (default 55M with a maximum value of 2047M)
and
PHP Max Upload Size for cPanel PHP in Megabytes (default 50M with a maximum value of 2047M)
values via
Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings

 

[hostnamecl]

you can create a single php.ini in the /user/pubic_html directory with the line:

upload_max_filesize = 150M


thats all, you dont have to restart anything.

 

[cPanelTristan]

This will not work for the internal PHP, since PHPMyAdmin uses the cPanel internal php.ini file. You should change this in WHM's Tweak Settings as already noted by prior users.

Additionally, individual php.ini files only work if using suPHP. DSO does not support them on user level accounts, while CGI and FCGI do support them but only after making configuration changes.
