Steps to Increase the File Upload Limit in Plesk’s File Manager on Ubuntu

We often need to modify settings in both Plesk and the web server (commonly Apache or Nginx) to raise the file upload cap in Plesk’s File Manager on an Ubuntu server. Let’s look into the steps:

1. As the administrator or another user with the necessary rights to update configurations, sign in to the Plesk control panel.

2. On Plesk, navigate to the “Tools & Settings” area, which is typically located on the left sidebar.

3. Depending on the version of Plesk, choose “PHP Settings” under “Security.”

4. Find the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize parameters in the PHP settings. To get the upload limit (in megabytes), increase the values of these settings. To enable 64MB file uploads, for instance, set them to 64M.

5. In order to save the PHP settings, click “Apply” or “OK.”

6. To enable larger file uploads, we also need to change some configuration settings on the web server. Depending on the web server, these options may differ.

i. Edit the virtual host configuration file for Apache. It is located in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-available/. Add or modify the following lines in the virtual host configuration file:

ii. Edit the Nginx configuration file, which is normally found at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or in the configuration files for each individual site in /etc/nginx/sites-available/. Add the following lines to the HTTP or server block or modify them as necessary:

7. Restart the web server to make the new settings effective.

8. lastly, check to see if the upload limit has been increased as required by going to Plesk’s File Manager and attempting to upload a file.
