There's also another solution. Again thanks to @LazyOne for the tip. This one is much neater, but it requires updating the Apache config directly (so you cannot deploy it on a shared hosting).

All you have to do is add this to your httpd.conf or vhosts.conf (inside or as per Apache Docs).

    php_flag max_input_time 60000
    php_value post_max_size 1024M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 1024M
    php_value memory_limit 128M

Restart your server and it should just work!

Note, that although LocationMatch parses the /massiveupload as a regular expression, we cannot use ^/massiveupload (note the ^ char to match beginning of the string). This is because it will fail if you use a ModRewrite (which changes the final request url internally).

Note, you shouldn't make upload_max_filesize and post_max_size the exact same size, because if you upload a file that just reaches the upload_max_filesize limit, any other post data will cause it to exceed the post_max_size and the form submission will fail.
