If you've chosen DirectAdmin, it's important to know how to increase the PHP upload limit. This limit determines how much data you can upload to your website at any given time. Sometimes it's necessary to increase the upload limit, such as when you want to upload larger files. In this article, we'll explain how to increase the PHP upload limit in DirectAdmin step-by-step.

Why increase the PHP upload limit?

There are several reasons why you might want to increase the PHP upload limit in DirectAdmin. One of the most common reasons is to upload larger files, such as images, videos, and software updates. If the current upload limit is too low, you'll run into problems and uploading these files won't be possible. Another reason to increase the upload limit is to meet the requirements of specific applications or software you want to install on your website.

Increasing the upload limit may also be necessary to solve problems with uploading files through a form on your website. If the limit is too low, the user may receive an error message when trying to upload files.

Increasing the PHP upload limit is a simple process that can be done within minutes. In the next section of this article, we'll explain how to increase the upload limit step-by-step.

How do I change the PHP upload limit in DirectAdmin?

Increasing the PHP upload limit in DirectAdmin is a simple process that you can do within minutes. Below, we describe how to increase the upload limit in DirectAdmin:

  1. Log into DirectAdmin and go to the "Select PHP Version" page. You can find this by using the search field within DirectAdmin and searching for "PHP".
