I have to say that I am profoundly ignorant of programing … but I like this. * Thank you, AG * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [The old file size limit of 2MB](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-old-file-size-limit-of-2mb/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-old-file-size-limit-of-2mb/#post-5043831) * YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT … my compliments! * I found the file here: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (it had the infamous file size restriction of 2M). I changed the following code lines: * memory_limit = 128M (no change needed here, it was already set at 128M) post_max_size = 60M (it was set at 8M) upload_max_filesize = 60M (it was set at 2M) * I was trying to upload a 50MB PDF file which now is uploaded. Now, I have to figure out what I need to have it show in a nice window within the page with a nice slider on the right. * Thank you, AG * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [The old file size limit of 2MB](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-old-file-size-limit-of-2mb/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-old-file-size-limit-of-2mb/#post-5043827) * This is the content of /var/www/wp-admin/php.ini * memory_limit = 64M post_max_size = 10M upload_max_filesize = 10M * It’s not working … what have I done wrong and/or what am I missing? * Thanks, AG * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [The old file size limit of 2MB](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-old-file-size-limit-of-2mb/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-old-file-size-limit-of-2mb/#post-5043825) * OK, I accept that so does anyone know how an Ubuntu server running nothing but a fresh install of LAMP and WordPress limits the upload size of a file? * Anyone … I would very much appreciated!!!

I have static IPs and these WordPress servers are running on Ubuntu and are both in my office. I installed all the software, Ubuntu and WordPress and I have access to the physical server. * I am the hosting company and WordPress software is the only thing which limits the file size. I am hoping to find somebody who knows, from experience, where the limit code is and knows how to modify it. * Thanks, AG * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [New install 3.9.1 on Ubuntu 12.10](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-install-391-on-ubuntu-1210/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-install-391-on-ubuntu-1210/#post-5008128) * Problem fixed and here is the cause: * Permission for WordPress folders and files was incorrect. To fix that the following command was used: * sudo chown -R www-data:username /var/www * I still don’t know what has changed in the installation of the current WordPress 9.3.1 which requires this manual step and which was automatic by the install process of WordPress 3.5.1 * I suppose they needed to fix something which was working! * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-60/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-60/page/3/#post-2711059) * ClaytonJames Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I have been using sudo gedit which lets me do whatever editing I wand but I don’t know many commands to do the rest. I have been looking for a GUI fila management tool I will try Nautilus.

It now runs on an Ubuntu 10.04 which also has a GUI. It is public at [http://www.domain.xxx](http://www.domain.xxx) and it can also be accessed locally on the server with a browser. Next step install TeamViewer and see it they coexist in peacefully. * The only problem I found is that when I did: * sudo tar -xzvf wordpress-3.3.2.tar.gz * it created a wordpress directory and, as before with latest.tar.gz, it put all the files inside it. I still had to move each file out of there and into /www/ * Is there any way to tar it in place without having it make a directory? * AG * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-60/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-60/page/3/#post-2711028) * govpatel, Thanks, AG * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-60/) * Thread Starter [agray19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agray19/) * (@agray19) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-60/page/3/#post-2711026) * ClaytonJames, Thanks, you confirmed my deductions based on observation. I will post the results but, I believe that by installing WordPress in /var/www/ the system will behave as expected and will respond correctly to: * [http://www.damain.xxx](http://www.damain.xxx) * The rest of the installation, MYSQL, Apache2 and PHP and creating the database will remain the same. It should work and … we shall see.

It sams that I know how to build a server which can live on Internet and respond to [http://www.domain.xxx/wordpress](http://www.domain.xxx/wordpress) with the right response and it works. All I have to do now is figure out how to eliminate the need for /wordpress. Anyway, I will figure it out and perhaps I will be able to help the next person.

Anyway, I was hoping that somebody knows how to build a WordPress server, not a localhost let’s play server, and I assumed that this forum might be the place. Perhaps I am mistaken, it will not be the first of last time.
