In order to do this, however, one must edit the used PHP version&#8217;s php.ini to adjust the setting, and then restart the appropriate services. The examples given below apply to a DirectAdmin server using PHP-FPM as the PHP handler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"find_the_default_php_versions_phpini\"><\/span>Find the default PHP version&#8217;s php.ini<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can run the following command to find out what configuration files are in use on your server and what their locations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  \/usr\/local\/directadmin\/custombuild\/build used_configs<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>PHPMyAdmin on DirectAdmin will use the default PHP version. There may be a blank php.ini section in the output of the command above, but you can ignore that as we just want to know the default PHP version and the location of its php.ini file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Find-the-default-PHP-version-php-1024x253.jpg\" alt=\"Find the default PHP version's php.ini\" class=\"wp-image-6479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Find-the-default-PHP-version-php-1024x253.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Find-the-default-PHP-version-php-300x74.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Find-the-default-PHP-version-php-768x190.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Find-the-default-PHP-version-php.jpg 1268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"edit_the_phpini\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"edit_the_phpini_upload_filesize\"><\/span>Edit the php.ini upload filesize<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you can see the location of the default PHP version&#8217;s php.ini file, you can now edit it to increase the post_max_size and the max_upload_filesize variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll use 256mb for the sake of the example<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>post_max_size = 256mb<br>upload_max_filesize=256mb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have the value you want to set then using the example in the image above, you could use this command via SSH as root to edit the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  nano \/usr\/local\/php73\/lib\/php.ini<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the upload_max_filesize determines the Mib displayed in PHPMyAdmin, but you&#8217;ll want to increase both of the values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"restart_the_webserver_and_any_related_services\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"restart_the_webserver_and_any_related_services\"><\/span>Restart the webserver and any related services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you need to restart the webserver and any related services to ensure the changes take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  service httpd restart<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If using php-fpm, restart it (replace XX with the appropriate version of PHP, e.g., php-fpm73):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  systemctl restart php-fpmXX<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check_your_work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"check_your_upload_filesize\"><\/span>Check your upload filesize<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can log into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/tag\/phpmyadmin\/\">PHPMyAdmin<\/a> and confirm that the value has been increased as desired by checking under the Import tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Increasing-Max-Upload-Filesize-and-Post-Max-size-in-DirectAdmins-PHPMyAdmin-1024x603.jpg\" alt=\"Increasing Max Upload Filesize and Post Max size in DirectAdmin's PHPMyAdmin\" class=\"wp-image-6481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Increasing-Max-Upload-Filesize-and-Post-Max-size-in-DirectAdmins-PHPMyAdmin-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Increasing-Max-Upload-Filesize-and-Post-Max-size-in-DirectAdmins-PHPMyAdmin-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Increasing-Max-Upload-Filesize-and-Post-Max-size-in-DirectAdmins-PHPMyAdmin-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Increasing-Max-Upload-Filesize-and-Post-Max-size-in-DirectAdmins-PHPMyAdmin.jpg 1268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, adjusting the configuration to allow for a higher upload filesize in PHPMyAdmin is rather straightforward, and although a little technical &#8212; it shouldn&#8217;t be scary at all.
