I am trying to upload plugin and theme on EC2 instance running on AWS Linux 2 connected with AWS RDB instance (MySQL). I exactly followed these steps presented by AWS. Creating a MySQL Database with RDS: Configure the RDS database to allow access to specific entities. Creating an EC2 Instance: Create an EC2 instance to run your WordPress site. Configuring Your RDS Database: Configure the RDS database to allow access to specific entities. Configuring WordPress on EC2: Install the WordPress application and dependencies on the EC2 instance.

However, I am not able to upload plugin or theme, it shows this error:

I tried to fix this error using various recommendation, but unable to fix it. The file size in media library is only 2 Mb.

1.wpbeginner

I am unable to find .htaccess or php.ini file on wordpress as recommended by wpbeginner.

2.wpkube

I tried to create new files (.htaccess and php.ini) recommended here and uploaded at this directory: /var/www/html This doesn't help to increase Maximum upload file size.

Could someone please help to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

you can edit the file in amazon linux -

vim /etc/php.ini 

for upload max size to 100M after you must restart apache and php so

# sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

then you can check your phpinfo

Answer 2

first step open the php.ini file sudo vim /etc/php.ini edit to : max file size - 100M and post max size to 100M save and exit then restart httpd and php-fpm sudo systemctl restart php-fpm sudo systemctl restart httpd

now check for phpinfo output
