I have a local and remote server. Both are almost the same (Centos 6x, Apache 2.2.15), but the local server has PHP Version 5.5.24 and the remote server has PHP Version 5.5.18.

On the local server, I could upload a fairly big file using blueimp's fileupload plugin, but on the remote server I received the following error:

POST Content-Length of 8672780 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes

php.ini for both of them include the following:

upload_max_filesize = 2M
post_max_size = 8M

phpinfo() on both show:

upload_max_filesize 2M  2M
post_max_size   8M  8M

Why is the local server able to upload files over 2M? How do I make them respond identically?

Most likely `post_max_size` – AbraCadaver Oct 30 '15 at 21:55

@AbraCadaver Please see updated post. Again, they seem identical, but something is different. – user1032531 Oct 30 '15 at 21:58
@j08691 Thanks for the link. I see how both need to be set, but they appear to be the same. Maybe I am on some edge condition where one version of PHP reads a byte or two extra? – user1032531 Oct 30 '15 at 22:02
Not sure why the difference but 8672780 bytes > 8M – AbraCadaver Oct 30 '15 at 22:05
@AbraCadaver Then why would the local server allow it to be uploaded? – user1032531 Oct 30 '15 at 22:05
