I wanted to upload a large file with PHP (serendipity software), but it would not let me do that.
There were a few things I had to change.
Setup: Apache with vhosts.
File 1 to change:
php.ini (the one of my virtual host)
Code:
max_input_time = 1200 # To allow more time to upload
max_execution_time = 1200 # To allow more time to upload
upload_max_filesize = 25M # my file is just above 20M
post_max_size = 25M # Needed
File 2 to change: The current active httpd.include
Code:
FcgidMaxRequestLen 25000000
Both were needed.
Check the error in error_log when uploading a large file. First the message about File 2 was there, and when that was resolved, the message about file1 was stated.
Message1:
Code:

Message2:
Code:
