i have plenty of memory space under my account. however, the 10MB flie size limit is killing me right now... Is there any way I can upload file more than 10MB?
 
IMHO, anything over a few MB httpd post is very unreliable no matter how you tweak the configuration. For large uploads (like online print shop submissions) use a java applet to perform a real FTP transfer. I am currently using jClientUploadPro. It has lots of amenities, drag and droop, multiple files, progress bar, transfer resumption, etc. Only size limitation is that most folks upload bandwidth is a small fraction of their download bandwidth. I uploaded a GB in about an hour over a typical cable connection....
 
just do it in directadmin.

login as admin, click file editor, click the dropdown menu and look for php.ini

Ya. But I am an artist, sometimes; I just need to upload things for work or personal reason. If possible to upload file over 10mb would make my life a lot easier. Thank you for your advice. :)
 
I try to follow the directions since the first advice , but I can't find file editor anywhere, do I need to go to my server or I just can do it in admin control panel, please guys be more expecific so all of us can get it right. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
 
Are you the administrator of this server if so you should see a link in the control panel called "File Editor" under Admin Tools. If not you'll need to have your host change this setting.

thank you. I think I was login as admin, and I was in the DirectAdmin page. However, there is no file editor option for me to choose. Usually, I just click on file manager... also, inside of file manager page is no dropdown menu or php.ini...

I don't see what the things you had mentioned in my DirectAdmin page. I am the owner of this domain, what should I do to change to what you said?

I upload things in Directdamin. however, after all these advices I am a little confuse... I thought I have full control on my domain and my host, and it seems not. would you tell me why? and how could I fix it?
 
You obviously are not the server administrator, but a client of some web hosting company. You'll need to contact your provider and have them change this setting for you.
