How to increase max_upload_size on apache server

Question

In my application, I want to upload a file more than 500 MB, but it's giving me an error as the file is too big to upload.

I tried different ways to increase max_upload_size in php.ini and through .htacccess

but its increased till 128MB not more than that.

is there any way to increase it more than 500MB

Thanks in advance

To upload large files, post_max_size value must be larger than upload_max_filesize.

memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size

memory_limit > post_max_size > upload_max_filesize

PHP Default: 128M > 8M > 2M

So you can try to increase memory_limit as well if you've increased post_max_size and upload_max_filesize

I had the same issue before

and

if it's not working you can edit in the htaccess file in WordPress directory and edit the file replacing xx with your preferred value

php_value upload_max_filesize xxM
