If you see errors like “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”, “Request Entity Too Large”, or WordPress updates/uploads fail, you may need to increase PHP limits for your domain in Plesk.
1) Open PHP settings for your domain
- Log in to Plesk (via My.GARMTECH → your hosting service → Plesk).
- Go to Websites & Domains.
- Find the required domain and click PHP Settings.
2) Increase the required limits
Common parameters to adjust:
- upload_max_filesize — maximum size of a single uploaded file.
- post_max_size — maximum size of the entire request (should be equal or higher than upload_max_filesize).
- memory_limit — PHP memory limit (important for imports, WordPress updates, and large plugins).
- max_execution_time — script runtime limit (important for restores and imports).
Practical starting values (adjust to your real needs):
- upload_max_filesize: 64M–256M
- post_max_size: same as (or higher than) upload_max_filesize
- memory_limit: 256M (or higher if required)
- max_execution_time: 300–600
Click OK / Apply to save changes.
3) Test again
- Retry the upload/import/update that failed.
- If you use WordPress, clear cache (for example LSCache) after major changes.
Important notes
- Plan limits: some values can be capped by your hosting plan. If a setting is not available or does not take effect, the plan limit may apply.
- Keep limits reasonable: avoid setting extremely high values unless you really need them.
