This is the error that I get in my cPanel error log:
[Fri Nov 08 07:47:09 2013] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP: syntax error, unexpected ‘(‘ in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxxxxxx/wp-admin/php.ini on line 1, referer: http:/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/wp-admin/media-new.php
There is currently not even a php.ini file in the website folders. One did not exist after I installed WordPress.
If this were a mod_security issue what would I ask of my host? I have tried to override mod_security with the following code in the .htaccess to no avail:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
I was under the impression that the following line:
upload_max_filesize is set to 100M
means that the file size is restricted to 100M.
Also, there are a few other websites hosted on this same VPS and I can upload files to those that are multiple gigabytes with no problem.
