Hi everyone, I’ve created a file field in my blueprint to upload and manage images and videos. I can upload images but when I try to upload video i got an error message : ‘No files were uploaded’ In my terminal I got an `[500]: POST /api/pages/works+projectname/fields/slideshow/upload `. I looked at my php.ini if it’s come from the “post\_max\_size” and “upload\_max\_filesize”, and it’s not coming from this. I don’t know where it’s coming from. Thanks ---

How big is the file you are trying to upload? Maybe you are running into a timeout. Are you testing this on a remote server or locally? ---

Hi my file is 9,7Mo heavy, look at my `php.ini` and I’ve seen it’s lighter than my `post_max_size` value. I’m working locally with [PHP’s built-in server](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/setup/development-environment#php-s-built-in-server). ---

And what are you php.ini settings for - memory\_limit - upload\_max\_filesize - post\_max\_size ` ---

`memory_limit = 128M` `upload_max_filesize = 20` `post_max_size = 20M` ---

Have you already tried to increase these values? Particularly memory\_limit? Where did you see this 500 error? Is there any more information in the logs? And also, have you made sure you are looking at the correct php.ini? `max_execution_time` is another value worth looking at… ---

I tried to increase all this values. And I checked, I modified the correct php.ini. I got the 500 error in my terminal, in the logs of my php built-in sever. Just before the 500 error I got this PHP warning : `PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 11881055 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0 ` ---

I changed the value, restart apache and when I look at my phpinfo page, the values are changed with the value I put in my php.ini. ---

Hm, I guess you have allowed other files than images in your file blueprint? Although, if the file type was not allowed, you should get a dialog in the Panel… ---

Yes. I’m thinking, i’m running php 7.4 maybe by upgrading to php 8 can be an option. ---

I have tested that it works with no issues in my environment even with huge files with the built-in server runningPHP 8, but 7.4 should be no issue either. ---

I found the problem I was modifying `php.ini` in my `/etc/php/7.4/apache2 ` folder but by running php built in server, the `php.ini` I needed to modify was in the ` /etc/php/7.4/cli ` folder… I just have the idea to create a phpinfo file this morning in my project to check the path of my `php.ini`…
