   Hi there,

   I am running on a host that does not allow you to edit your php.ini file, (Shared Hosting) and I need to increase my upload limit from 2MB (Media upload fails when I try to upload a 8mb file) even though the Media panel shows an upload limit of 8MB

   I have tried adding the following to my htaccess file:

   php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
   php_value post_max_size 20M
   php_value max_execution_time 200
   php_value max_input_time 200

   But this results in a 500 Error

   I have been advised that the server I am located on has a max file size of 20MB

   How do I increase the max upload size?

   Thanks

   Adam

   Best bet, contact your host and ask them to change it. The other methods are hacks... they work in some circumstances, but none are as good as having the host change the settings directly. Just describe your problem and thy should know what to do to up your limit.
