How to Modify Maximum Number of Files Uploaded at Once in DirectAdmin (Enhanced Skin)
Introduction
PHP max file uploads defines how many files can be uploaded simultaneously in a single request, and adjusting this limit is essential for applications requiring multiple file submissions. Photo galleries, document management systems, or bulk upload features may require increasing the upload limit to accommodate users submitting multiple files at once. DirectAdmin’s PHP Settings interface provides a straightforward method for configuring file upload quantity limits through custom PHP overrides. This guide explains how to modify max file uploads using the PHP Settings section in DirectAdmin, enabling your web applications to accept appropriate numbers of simultaneous file submissions.
Prerequisites
- Access to DirectAdmin control panel with the necessary permissions.
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Access DirectAdmin
Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel.
Step 2: Access PHP Settings
Go to the Your Account section and click on Domain Setup. Then, select the domain/subdomain you wish to modify PHP settings for by clicking on the domain/subdomain name.
At the PHP Access row, click Php Settings…. You should be able to see a list of your current PHP configuration.
Step 3: Modify Max File Uploads
Scroll down to the Add Override section. On the max_file_uploads row, you may enter the number of files that you wish to allow to be uploaded simultaneously in a single request.
Then, click Save on the right.
Tips: When increasing the number of files you can upload, you must ensure your size limits are large enough to accommodate them. Your post_max_size should always be larger than your upload_max_filesize multiplied by the number of files in max_file_uploads.
Step 4: Verify the changes
You may confirm the new override settings in the updated Domain php.ini overrides table.
Conclusion
Configuring PHP max file uploads through DirectAdmin’s PHP Settings interface is a simple process that controls how many files can be submitted simultaneously. Adjusting this limit enables multi-file upload functionality for your applications, though proper configuration of related size limits is essential to ensure uploaded files are accepted without exceeding overall request size restrictions.
