How to Increase PHP Upload Size in aaPanel

If you are using aaPanel as your hosting control panel and are facing issues with uploading large files through PHP, you may need to increase the upload size limit. By default, PHP has a limit on the size of files that can be uploaded, but you can easily adjust this limit in aaPanel. In this blog post, we will guide you on how to increase the PHP upload size in aaPanel.

Step 1: Access aaPanel

First, log in to your aaPanel dashboard using your credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to PHP Settings

Once you are logged in, navigate to the PHP settings section in aaPanel. You can usually find this under the "Web" or "PHP" category in the dashboard.

Step 3: Edit PHP Configuration

Look for the PHP configuration file editor in the PHP settings section. You will need to locate the php.ini file to edit the upload size limit.

Step 4: Find the upload_max_filesize Directive

In the php.ini file, search for the "upload_max_filesize" directive. This directive specifies the maximum size of files that can be uploaded through PHP. By default, this value is set to a relatively low limit.

Step 5: Increase the Upload Size Limit

To increase the upload size limit, simply change the value of the "upload_max_filesize" directive to your desired limit. You can set it to a higher value, such as "100M" for 100 megabytes. Make sure to save the changes after editing the file.

Step 6: Restart PHP Service

After saving the changes to the php.ini file, you will need to restart the PHP service for the changes to take effect. Look for the option to restart PHP in the aaPanel dashboard.

Step 7: Test the Upload Size Limit

Once you have increased the upload size limit and restarted the PHP service, test the new limit by uploading a large file through your website. If the upload is successful, it means that you have successfully increased the PHP upload size in aaPanel.
