You can adjust important PHP values such as the memory limit or the maximum upload size yourself in cPanel under Select PHP Version.
- Log in at https://cpanel.hoston.ch.
- In the Software section, click Select PHP Version.
- Switch to the Options tab.
- Change the value using the drop-down menu or checkbox. The change is saved immediately.
Commonly adjusted options
- memory_limit: maximum memory per PHP script, e.g. 256M or 512M
- upload_max_filesize: maximum size of an uploaded file
- post_max_size: maximum size of a form submission; should be at least as large as upload_max_filesize
- max_execution_time: maximum run time of a script in seconds
- display_errors: shows PHP errors in the browser – enable only for troubleshooting and switch it off again afterwards
- allow_url_fopen: allows PHP to open files via URLs; required by some applications
Note: If the Options tab shows a message about the native version, first choose a specific PHP version (see the article "Change the PHP version"). The values apply within the resource limits of your package.
