How to Edit post_max_size in PHP Configuration

DevKinsta Application Support
4

  1. Open Terminal on your Mac and type in docker exec -it devkinsta_fpm bash

  2. Type in apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install nano. You will be prompted to type Y. This step will install nano so you can edit the file.

  3. Then type in nano /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini. You may need to change the 7.3 to another version. Match this with the version the site is on on DevKinsta.

  4. There’s quite a bit here but what you’re looking for is post_max_size. To do a search, press control+w on your keyboard - type post_max_size - then enter.

  5. Change this to your desired value. post_max_size = 64M should do it. Exit with control+x and press Y to save.

  6. Type exit then docker restart devkinsta_fpm

Should be all good from there! Let me know if you have any questions about any steps here.
