   How to override the max upload size whether your host is blocking it or whether script is. If you're getting an IO error, or a max file size is to big error, or timeout error, this should fix it.

   Copy this to a text file and save it as php.ini. Then upload to your cgi-bin. If that doesnt solve it put the file in your root 'public_html' or 'htdocs' folder.
   

   [PHP]
   
   ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
   ; File Uploads ;
   ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
   
   upload_max_filesize = 100M;
   post_max_size = 105M;
   max_execution_time = 300; 
   
   ;End:

   Looks like the fix for me was to place the php.ini file in the wp-admin folder.

   zephynator - You are a hero amongst men. I spent so much time trying to solve this, and tried everything. It was all about putting it in wp-admin folder!!! Fast and worked immediately.

   Thank you!

   You will eventually run into problems with the wp-admin folder and it doesnt override hosts, servers, etc.. only the wordpress script.

   If you're using (mt) Media temple, drop the php.ini file in the "etc" folder. That should do it.

   Thanks all,

   This isnt giving me the solution.The small files around 100kb gets easily upload but files bigger than that wont.I dunno what the solution is?I did everything mentioned above and i have even added the code on htaccess file. The thing is IO error is still prevailing.
