upload_max_filesize solutions

[chopficaro]

im trying to make an art gallery site for my sister with free hosting, i need upload_max_filesize to be at least 3m

ive tried many free hosting services and they are all 1.5m

ive tried what these guys say

http://www.openg.info/entry/php-cpanel-change-upload-max-filesize-cpanel-access-php-ini

 

which is put this in htdocs:

 

.htaccess

#Enables mod_rewrite, otherwise all Rewrite directives below will not work
RewriteEngine on
#Activates php.ini config located in main folder to work also recursively for all subfolders, obviously replace your_cpanel_user with your full path, you find it in cPanel home page on the left it's called 'Home Directory'
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/vol2/20x.cc/20x_6657899/public_html

php.ini

upload_max_filesize = 3M
post_max_size 8M
memory_limit 128M
max_input_time -1

which just gives me a 404

 

and ive tried running this, and it gives me the same old 1.5m every time

index.php

<?php
phpinfo();
ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "3M"); // Think that's right...
phpinfo();
?>

Get yourself a decent host, you get what you pay for it really as that simple.

Ask your host to change upload_max_filesize from root. it should be at least 20M. Otherwise i recommend to chance host as mentioned by trope
