[dpuigdomenec]

Context

In cases where a configuration file of a significant size needs to be uploaded and Expedition is unable to process it, it becomes necessary to modify the setup of the Apache-PHP component.

Requirements

• CLI and sudo access

Solution

1. Open a terminal to the VM
2. Execute the below command
   sudo vi /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
3. Look for the attribute upload_max_filesize
4. Change the value to (i.e) upload_max_filesize = 300M
5. Look for the attribute post_max_size
6. Change the value to (i.e) post_max_size = 300M
7. Save the changes (press esc :wq!)
8. Restart the apache service
   sudo service apache2 restart
9. Try it again, you should be able to upload files up to 300MB
