How to increase WordPress Upload Limits in AccuWeb.Cloud Hosting?

Are you frustrated by the “file too large” error when trying to upload media files to your WordPress site? If you’re encountering a file upload limit issue in your WordPress Media Library, typically capped at 100 MB or another restricted size, you’re not alone. Many WordPress users face this challenge, especially when working with high-resolution images, videos, or large backup files.

Fortunately, if you’re hosting your website on AccuWeb.Cloud, resolving this issue is easier than you might think.

Increase WordPress Upload Limit

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a quick and simple solution to increase your WordPress upload limit. By making a few adjustments to your server settings, you can lift these restrictions and enjoy seamless file uploads without any hassle. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, these step-by-step instructions will help you take full control of your upload limits. Let’s get started!

How to Fix WordPress Upload Limits on AccuWeb Cloud?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolving the upload size limit issue:

1. Access Your Cloud Dashboard

Access Cloud Dashboard

Start by logging into your AccuWeb.Cloud Dashboard, where your WordPress environment is hosted.

2. Select Your Affected Environment

Navigate to the specific environment (e.g., staging or production) where you’re experiencing the upload limit issue.

Select Affected Environment

3. Locate and Edit the Configuration File

Once inside your environment, access the following file path on file manager:

/usr/local/lsws/lsphp/etc/php.d/90-jelastic.ini
Note: This file is hardcoded and will override any other PHP values defined elsewhere (such as in .htaccess, php.ini, or user.ini files). Be sure to make your changes here for them to take effect.

4. Update the PHP Settings

Open the 90-jelastic.ini file and adjust the following parameters to match your preferred values:

upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 500M

Update the PHP Settings

(Feel free to adjust the numbers, for example, set it to 256M, 512M, or any other size that suits your needs.)

Pro Tip: If the post_max_size is set to a smaller value than upload_max_filesize, it could lead to errors when attempting to upload files.

5. Restart Your Web Server

After saving your changes, restart your web server to apply the new settings:

  • If you’re using Apache, restart Apache. 
    sudo systemctl restart apache2

    OR

    sudo systemctl restart httpd
  • If you’re using LiteSpeed, restart the LiteSpeed service. 
    sudo systemctl restart lsws

    Restart the LiteSpeed service

You can typically do this directly from your AccuWeb.Cloud Dashboard or via SSH if you have access.

6. Refresh Your WordPress Site

Return to your WordPress Admin area, refresh the page, and test uploading media files again.

Refresh WordPress Site

Your new upload limit should now be active!

Quick Tips

  • Backup First: Always back up configuration files before making changes. This allows you to revert to the original settings in case any issues arise.
  • Monitor Resources: Ensure your server has sufficient PHP memory and storage capacity if you’re setting very high upload limits.
  • Clear Cache: If issues persist after making changes, clear your browser cache and refresh your WordPress settings.
  • Contact Support: If you’re unsure about editing server files, don’t hesitate to reach out to AccuWeb.Cloud support for assistance.

With these simple steps, you can now upload larger files without any restrictions. Experience smooth and hassle-free file management on your WordPress site!
