[Blackpool] PHP/ WP question

[James Page]

Thanks all,

The post_max_size entry had an 8M value, which should be accommodating the
4MB file I'm having probs with.

That said, Arran's point uncovered something interesting that I've never
seen before - a php.ini file in each home directory ( ~/etc/php5/php.ini).
Using phpinfo, it told me that the *loaded config file* was from that
location (presumably the *config file* mentioned is what these home
directory php.ini files are derived from?). It's just clicked that the PHP
settings I've edited for each virtual server in Webmin should presumably be
editing this home directory file. I've made changes to these values in
Webmin, with no effect.

Anyway, I have checked those home directory values in the php.ini files
themselves and, lo and behold, the values are unchanged, so I've now
changed them - result? I can now upload the files! So changing the settings
via Webmin doesn't appear to work...

Getting there, slowly... Thanks Arran!
