Import file size limit in PHPMyAdmin

Question

I have changed all the php.ini parameters I know: upload_max_filesize, post_max_size.

Why am I still seeing 2MB?

Im using Zend Serv

I found that increasing the upload and post limit in php.ini did not affect the limit in phpmyadmin. This is because my server has a separate setting for cpanel upload limit. If you have access to WHM, you probably have this.

To adjust:

• login to your WHM panel: this is usually located at {your server ip}/whm and you will need your root login details here. If you don't have those, request them from your host.
• once logged in, in the top left search bar, search for "tweak settings"
• On the tweak setting pages, search for "cPanel PHP max upload size"
• Adjust the number and save

No need to restart apache or anything, changes are instant. This process increased the value of max upload file size in phpmyadmin. You can check this by going to phpmyadmin and selecting your database, then clicking "import" at the top. Beside the file selector you will see the upload limit. My server default was 100.
