I keep getting this error when uploading a 4MB video in Wordpress:

"The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini."

How can I fix this, I'm hardly using any disk space in my account. Confused

try adding:
upload_max_filesize =5M
post_max_size = 6M
to your php.ini file

1. If your php.ini file does not already exist, you will have to create a new one.

2. Add a line to your .htaccess file:
Code:
suPHP_ConfigPath  /home/ACCOUNTNAME/public_html
(or pointing to wherever you placed your php.ini file). This tells the server that there is a php.ini file and where to find it.

3. Check that you've done everything properly, and that PHP is obeying its new directives, by running this script:
Code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

I couldn't find the PHP.INI file so I read a bit and ran the script, eventho it show the path, there's no way for my to find it under the "File Manager section"


Configuration File (php.ini) Path    /usr/local/etc/php5/cgi
Loaded Configuration File    /usr/local/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

I don't find the directory at all anywhere. Confused


Update: I just read somewhere that if I have a shared server I can't change the value on the php.ini because it would affect everyone else, but here is what the phpinfo returned as far as memory:

post_max_size   8M
memory_limit   32M

So If I should not be having problems uploading a 4M video correct?

Should I contact lunar and ask them?

/usr/local is not available for you to write to. You have to create your own php.ini file, in a place like /home/ACCOUNTNAME/public_html/ (you can put it elsewhere, or take steps to hide it via .htaccess, but that's for the advanced course). And yes, you CAN create your own php.ini.
