How to increase Maximum Upload size in cPanel?


On cpanel -> software and services -> Select PHP Version.

Choose a PHP version which not the native one (I recommend php 5.6 or last one) and you will have / see a new link "Switch To PHP Settings", click it, in PHP Settings you can set upload_max_filesize in last line , clicking on value ( default is 2M ) , and you got a dropbox with values that you can set to upload_max_filesize, and click save .


Unfortunately, this is something you will have to ask you provider to do.

If your the owner of the server and can login to WHM it's under:

Tweak Settings => PHP Settings => Maximum Upload Size

Newer version have it listed under:

Home => Service Configuration => PHP Configuration Editor => Tweak Settings => PHP
