How to Modify Maximum Number of Files Uploaded at Once in DirectAdmin (Evolution 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 Account Manager > 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 Account Manager section and click on PHP Settings.
Step 3: Modify Max File Uploads
Scroll down to the Add New Override section. From the Setting drop-down menu, select max_file_uploads. In the Value field, you may enter the number of files that you wish to allow to be uploaded simultaneously in a single request.
Then, click Add on the bottom 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 PHP Settings 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.
