 * Hello,
 * I recently tried to upload a 8mb Mp3 to a page and got this error:
 * The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
 * I could not find the file stated. Does anyone knowwhere I can find this parameter
   to change it?
 * Thanks.

 * Unless you have your own server, your host will have to up it.
    You can try this

 * And this one:
    [http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/technical/software/PHP/configuration.html](http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/technical/software/PHP/configuration.html)
 * I’ll give you an .htaccess directive that should work. Put this in the .htaccess
   of your root:
    <Location ‘/seperate_directory’> php_value upload_max_filesize
   128M php_value post_max_size 128M LimitRequestBody 134217728 </Location> Replace
   separate_directory with your WP directory. Warning, your host may not like this!
   Talk with them first.
