Upload larger files (upload_max_filesize)

Updated on 4 November 20261 min read

A message saying your file is too large? Raise the upload limit.

Here's how

  1. Log in to DirectAdmin: open your plan in your client area and click Open DirectAdmin. You're signed in right away.
  2. Open Select PHP version (under Extra Features), or type "Select PHP" in the search field.
  3. Open the Options tab.
  4. For upload_max_filesize, choose a higher value, e.g. 64M or 128M.
  5. Set post_max_size at least as high.

Does the page show an error about the "native" PHP version? Then first choose a regular PHP version at the top (e.g. 8.3) and click Set as current.
