How to Edit PHP Settings (php.ini) in Webuzo

Sometimes an application asks for more than the default PHP limits allow — a bigger upload, more memory, or a longer time to run. In Webuzo you can adjust these php.ini values from the panel, without editing files by hand.

Open the PHP settings editor

1. Log in to your Webuzo Enduser Panel.
2. Open the PHP section and click PHP Settings (or PHP Configuration / php.ini Editor).
3. Adjust the values you need, then save. Changes usually take effect immediately.

The settings people change most

• upload_max_filesize — the largest single file you can upload (e.g. raise to 64M).
• post_max_size — should be equal to or larger than the upload size.
• memory_limit — how much memory a script may use (e.g. 256M for busy sites).
• max_execution_time — how long a script may run before timing out (e.g. 120 seconds for imports).

Raise these gradually. Setting them far higher than needed can let a runaway script consume server resources.

A common WordPress fix

If WordPress refuses a media upload with a “file exceeds maximum size” message, increasing upload_max_filesize and post_max_size here is the fix. The same idea is covered in increasing the maximum upload size in WordPress.

Frequently asked questions

My changes did not take effect.

Confirm you edited settings for the correct PHP version — the one your domain actually uses. See changing your PHP version to check.

What is a safe memory limit?

128M suits most sites; 256M helps heavier WordPress or WooCommerce setups. Only go higher if an app specifically asks for it.

Can I edit php.ini directly instead?

Yes, advanced users can edit the file in the File Manager, but the panel editor is safer and easier for most changes.
