I am using Apache with mod_php on Debian/Ubuntu Linux server. How do I increase file upload size limit in PHP-Apache app from default 2MB to 100MB?
You need to edit the file called /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini.

Increase file upload size limit in PHP-Apache
Type the following command to edit the php.ini: $ sudo vi /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini Find and set the following two values: post_max_size = 100M upload_max_filesize = 100M Save and close the file. Where,
post_max_size = 100M :
upload_max_filesize = 100M : Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
Restart Apache server
Type the following command to restart the Apache2 server: $ sudo service apache2 restart OR $ systemctl restart apache2.service Now you should able to upload file upto 100MB: Fig.01: Changed upload_max_filesize on PHP

Should also mention that PHP has a time out limit, regardless if the file is done or not. I ran into this issue with importing databases. My DB was over 2GB, and it timed out constantly.
Just something people should be aware of, especially if you have slow internet.
