What about the webserver? Nginx has a 1MB limit.

Laravel, large files cannot be uploaded
I am trying to upload a file as large as 20 MB. Controller validator returns "File failed to upload" error!! does anybody have any solution? I have also set upload_max_filesize and post_max_size but none seems to work.

@bugsysha It's Apache. I am using localhost which is running ubuntu. Do you think it may cause the problem?
Level 61
@danimohamadnejad I think that for Apache it is 2MB. Just Google it.

@bugsysha That is true but I am setting new values using php ini_set() function
Level 61
@danimohamadnejad values from PHP don't copy over to Apache so you need to change in both places.

make a file called phpinfo.php with this content
<?php
phpinfo();
Call it in the browser and see if the values are set there as well. If not restart the webserver.

@Sinnbeck I restarted Apache, but the values remain the same upload_max_filesize = 2M, post_max_size = 8M

@danimohamadnejad Are you sure you changed the right ones? There are seperate ini files for cli (commandline), fpm etc.

@Sinnbeck I have used php -i command on terminal and it returns /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini. So I changed it and also used ini_set manualy in php code. I don't know where else to manipulate.

@danimohamadnejad That is cli only. Check the /etc/php/7.4/ folder for what other folders it has

@Sinnbeck Mods-available dir. It contains files with .ini extension but none begins with php.

@danimohamadnejad Ok. Check the phpinfo.php website for "Loaded Configuration File "
