TYPO3 - upload_max_filesize installation error

php, typo3

Solution

Update: The TYPO3 option `maxFileSize` was removed in TYPO3 7.6. It is now sufficient to change the PHP settings.

In TYPO3 < 7.6 you have to specify the maxFileSize in Byte without any unit:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['maxFileSize'] = '10240';

In your php.ini you have to set these settings:

post_max_size = 10M
upload_max_filesize = 10M

Problem

I get the following error during installation: PHP Maximum upload filesize too small PHP upload_max_filesize = 11 MB TYPO3_CONF_VARS[BE][maxFileSize] = 10 MB Currently PHP determines the limits for uploaded file's sizes and not TYPO3. It is recommended that the value of upload_max_filesize is at least equal to the value of TYPO3_CONF_VARS[BE][maxFileSize]. I've changed the php.ini setting to 11MB, also `post_max_size=12`. How do I fix this error? Should I modify `TYPO3_CONF_VARS[BE][maxFileSize]` and set it to some lower value? Thanks!
