Bitnami WordPress: Increase upload size

In this article, our Support Techs discuss two approaches. If the Bitnami stack uses native Linux system packages, or if it is a self-contained installation.

On account of these changes, the file paths may change.

In order to identify the Bitnami installation type and what approach to follow, we run the command below:

test ! -f “/opt/bitnami/common/bin/openssl” && echo “Approach A: Using system packages.” || echo “Approach B: Self-contained installation.”

From the output of the command, we can find the approach the installation uses.

In addition, it will allow us to identify the paths, configuration, and commands to use.

Moving ahead, let us see how we can perform this in both approaches.

To increase the allowed size for uploads, our Support Techs recommend the steps below:

• Bitnami installations using system packages

In this case, we need to modify the following options in the php.ini file:

upload_max_filesize=80M
post_max_size=80M

• Self-contained Bitnami installations

On the other hand, in this scenario, we modify the following options in the /opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/httpd-app.conf file:

<IfModule php7_module>
php_value upload_max_filesize 80M
php_value post_max_size 80M
</IfModule>

However, if we use the PHP-FPM, we need to modify the settings in the /opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/php-fpm/php-settings.conf file:

php_value[upload_max_filesize]=80M
php_value[post_max_size]=80M

Conclusion

In short, we saw how our Support Techs increase the upload size in Bitnami WordPress.
